[Verse 1] I lock the door too late Your shadow knows my name Cold breath on the pane And I don’t call for help I hear the floorboards wake Under your careful steps You leave a trail of heat Where the dark should be [Pre-Chorus] Fear the light It catches me Pulls every lie Right out of me Fear the light I can’t pretend When morning comes You come again [Chorus] Fear the light (search the night) Fear the light (search the night) If you find me Don’t look away I was born In the break of day Fear the light (search the night) Fear the light (search the night) [Verse 2] I keep my hands in my pockets Like they hold the whole truth The mirror gives me away Every time you move You know the crack in my smile You know the name I lost I keep a candle burning Just to watch it cross [Pre-Chorus] Fear the light It catches me Pulls every lie Right out of me Fear the light I can’t pretend When morning comes You come again [Chorus] Fear the light (search the night) Fear the light (search the night) If you find me Don’t look away I was born In the break of day Fear the light (search the night) Fear the light (search the night) [Bridge] Hold still now Let it pass One bright look And I’m exposed at last Hold still now Let it break What I hide Won’t stay asleep [Final Chorus] Fear the light (search the night) Fear the light (search the night) If you find me Don’t look away I was born In the break of day Fear the light (search the night) Fear the light (search the night)
