She's hurt, the fool is hurt
But how can this be broken?
The child now knows the way danger goes
In the natural world
At night I arm the home for survival
(Pull the curtain, shift the lights)
And fall asleep to the night's fall
(Close the curb and bolt the door)
Awaken to a tender hour
(The dawn's sun, their clarion call)
Deny the creature lunging for cover
Get dressed and stand fully tall
What phantoms haunt me?
What trails of harm taught me?
Fearful enough
You carve a hollow in the home
You'll turn the night into a wolf
A looming fear that follows me everywhere
(Something uncontrollable that isn't there)
Doors closed, doors locked
The dark itself
What does it take to eat up the darkness?
How big, how big a jaw?
Have I a right to make a haven tonight?
Come on, girl, take back the night
Come on, girl, take back the night
Come on, girl, come on, girl, come on, girl
She's hurt, the fool is hurt
But how can this be broken?
The child now knows the way danger goes
In the natural world
Now I'm surrounded, yet alone in this world
Brought here by a small embrace
Once the shutter opened to light
My mother held me very tight
May you find the courage for all you face
What phantoms haunt me?
What trails of harm taught me?
Fearful enough
You carve a hollow in the home
You'll turn the night into a wolf
