Fear Is a Doorway

[Verse 1]
I map every danger
In the back of my head
Count all the bad endings
Before they are said

I carry the weather
In a room with no rain
Turn a small hesitation
Into a locked-in chain

[Pre-Chorus]
But the walls I keep measuring
Are only drawn in chalk
And the voice that says stop me
Is scared of where I’ll walk

[Chorus]
All of this fear is a doorway
All of this weight can come loose
I’ve been standing in my own way
Blocking the morning from view

I don’t have to solve every thunder
I don’t have to bury the blue
There’s a bright little break in the pressure
And I’m walking straight through

[Verse 2]
I replay old failures
Like coins in my hand
Polish every sharp edge
Till I can’t understand

The sadness knows my address
The frustration knows my name
But neither one gets to steer me
Just because they came

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the floor start shifting
Under the rules I made
A thought can be a warning
Without becoming a cage

[Chorus]
All of this fear is a doorway
All of this weight can come loose
I’ve been standing in my own way
Blocking the morning from view

I don’t have to solve every thunder
I don’t have to bury the blue
There’s a bright little break in the pressure
And I’m walking straight through

[Bridge]
Let the fear sit beside me
Let the sadness speak low
Let the anger burn smaller
Than the distance I’ll go

I can feel every fracture
And still choose what comes next
The path was never missing
I was reading the wreck

[Final Chorus]
All of this fear is a doorway
All of this weight can come loose
I’ve been standing in my own way
Blocking the morning from view

Now the room fills with daylight
Now the air tastes new
There’s a bright little break in the pressure
And I’m walking straight through

[Outro]
Straight through
I’m walking straight through
The path is here
The sun gets through
