The Fear Was Me

(Verse 1) My heart is pounding, Breath is catching, Frozen in this hollow space. The dark is deep, The wind howls cold, An eerie feeling, Sending chills down my spine. Every step I take Brings me closer To the fears I hold deep within. This armor I wear, Locked away inside, Is slowly killing me. (Chorus) Break the locks! Shatter the chains! Free my soul from my own fears! I must face it, Confront these fears, I must face the truth— The fear is me. (Verse 2) I cross the bridge Into the abyss, The threshold reached, The heart of fear. An unknown darkness, Seeped in cold, Where truth is hidden far from me. (Shift) But now I'm holding on to something unknown, Finding a trust I've never known. And suddenly, a light appears, A gentle path to lead me on. It opens to a sacred space, A hidden light held deep within. (Chorus) Break the locks! Shatter the chains! Free my soul from my own fears! I must face it, Confront these fears, I must face the truth— The fear is me. (Bridge) I feel its warmth, Its tender glow, Soothing me to the depths of my soul. It’s swirling now, surrounding me, This brilliant light that sets me free. My fear appears, The truth unfolds, It's all illusion, just make-believe! My fear was my own creation, My fear… was always me! (Chorus) Break the locks! Shatter the chains! Free my soul from my own fears! I will face it, I've faced these fears, I finally see the truth— The fear was me. (Outro) Locks and chains fall away, Armor broken, sets me free. It’s finally clear to me… That all I feared… Was only ever me.
