Face the Fear Lyrics by Fates Warning

Inside Out

1994

[Verse 1]
Here I am looking out looking in
My eyes are open, my mind's closed tight
I believe I know I need to let go
And I know I'm wrong but I think I'm right
[Pre-Chorus]
So I shut you out
And hear what I want to hear
And hide in my opinions
Afraid to face my fear
[Chorus]
Face the fear
Face the fear
Ohh
[Verse 2]
There you are reaching in reaching out
Your arms are open, your heart's closed tight
You believe you know you have to let go
And you think you won't but you know you might
[Pre-Chorus]
So you close your eyes
And pretend you're not here
And hide in your secrets
Afraid to face your fear
[Chorus]
Face the fear
Face the fear
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
And you close your eyes
I hear what I want to hear
And we hide in our suspicions
Afraid to face our fear
[Chorus]
Face the fear
Face the fear
[Pre-Chorus]
And I shut you out
You pretend you're not here
And we hide in our loneliness
Afraid to face our fear
[Chorus]
Face the fear
Face the fear
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Here we are looking in reaching out
Together and alone
Facing the fear we're afraid to show
Facing the fear of letting go
