[Verse 1] I made a shadow With my own two hands Fed it every worry Now it knows my plans I hear it in the hall When the house goes still It wears my face so well It knows my will [Pre-Chorus] And I keep turning At every door Like I’m chasing something I named before I built the fire Then blamed the smoke Now I’m the one Choking on the joke [Chorus] Why am I running From what I made? Why am I running From the shape I gave? (Why am I running?) I know that fear by name I know that fear by name [Verse 2] It learned my weak spots From the things I hide Every little fracture On the inside I tried to bury it Deep in the dirt But roots grow wild When they’ve been hurt [Pre-Chorus] And I keep turning At every door Like I’m chasing something I named before I built the fire Then blamed the smoke Now I’m the one Choking on the joke [Chorus] Why am I running From what I made? Why am I running From the shape I gave? (Why am I running?) I know that fear by name I know that fear by name [Bridge] Maybe I don’t need To win this fight Maybe I need to sit here In the night Look it in the eyes Let it shake If I made the monster I can unmake [Final Chorus] Why am I running From what I made? Why am I running From the shape I gave? (Why am I running?) I know that fear by name I know that fear by name I know that fear by name
