Fear

What people aren’t proud of they hide
Darkness is scared of the light
The shadows keep searching in hope of night
To roam freely for a while
But soon they’ll be put back in their place
Confined to their well-defined space
A secret knows how to remain unnamed
Yet tries to resolve itself

The ground where I needed peace
Is where the shadows fall
Fear is a mighty weapon
But a habit’s a powerful foe

They say that knowing is half of the battle
It was the first bullet that declared war
Maybe the next one that comes through will take me out
‘Cause I can’t really take this no more
I’ve heard them say that knowledge is power
But I’ve known this for years to be wrong
I can’t say that knowledge has hurt me
But I’m a lost cause if that’s all I’ve got

The ground where you needed peace
Is where you’ll wage this war
Guilt is a mighty weapon
But a habit’s a powerful foe

Who can wield a country
If he cannot manage a town
And who will watch o’er the city
If he cannot rule in his house
And who can govern a household
If he can’t take charge of himself
And who can subdue his own wicked heart
All by his lonesome self

The ground where you needed peace
Is where you’ve waged this war
Friends they’re a mighty weapon
But a habit’s a powerful

Yes, your friends are a mighty weapon
But a habit’s a powerful foe
Oh, a habit’s so hard to overthrow
