[Intro]

Had to face the terror staring back at me

'Til I found comfort in the darkness


[Verse 1]

I sat in shadowlight

Had to face the terror staring back at me

'Til I found comfort in the darkness

Easy to push them away

Things we don't wanna embrace

Just close your eyes

Yeah that's alright

That's alright


[Chorus]

I sat in shadowlight

Had to face the terror staring back at me

'Til I found comfort in the darkness

And it set me free


[Post-Chorus]

(Set me free, set me free

Had to face the terror staring back at me

'Til I found comfort in the darkness)


[Verse 2]

Always been more comfortable at night

But I've learned to love the light

As long as I am on my side

I know I don't have one to hide


[Refrain]

No way out

But through all the demons

No one else

We do this alone

And I'm done with hiding from my own shadow


[Pre-Chorus]

(If I can't love myself, can't love anyone else)

If I can't love myself, can't love anyone else


[Chorus]

I sat in shadowlight

Had to face the terror staring back at me

'Til I found comfort in the darkness

And it set me free

I'm taking back my life

Nothing can stop me becoming

Who I'm supposed to be

Now that I've finally accepted

All the parts of me


[Bridge]

What does it mean

To really be comfortable in my skin?

At home in my own body?

At peace with where I've been?

No day without night

No wrong without right

No me without you

No dark without light


[Chorus]

I sat in shadowlight

Had to face the terror staring back at me

'Til I found comfort in the darkness

And it set me free

I'm taking back my life

Nothing can stop me becoming

Who I'm supposed to be

Now that I've finally accepted

All the parts of me
