Waited for the call I knew was coming

Rehearsed the worst until I knew the lines

Built it brick by brick inside my chest

Then I watched it walk into my life

 

Every time the fear got loud

Every time the dread took hold

I could feel it taking shape

I could feel it coming home

 

I made it real

I made it real

Oh

Oh

 

It wears my face

I made it real

I made it real

Oh

Oh

I let it in

 

The thing I dreaded most became my voice

The thing I ran from learned my name

I told the dark the worst was coming

And the worst learned to obey

 

Every time the fear got loud

Every time the dread took hold

I could feel it taking shape

I could feel it coming home

 

I made it real

I made it real

Oh

Oh

It wears my face

 

I used to think the fear was warning me

Now I know the fear was building me

There's nothing chasing me but my own breath

Nothing here but what I made
