Somethings' there in the distance Got me calling for help Don't know where I'm destined to go I light up a fire, erase the effect It's the middle of the night and I'm all alone I better toughen up, oh no I better toughen up, things will get me along 'Cause there's something in the night, something is there I'm awake and breaking apart Treading water in the dark To keep my head above my heart Facing all my fears tonight Don't wanna hide no more in the dark A creature in the making is taking a shape It's a form that I've seen before It feels so familiar but still so rare Wanna stay but it shakes me to the core I better toughen up, oh no I better toughen up, get this under control 'Cause there's nothing in the shadows, nothing is there I know it won't break me apart Treading water in the dark To keep my head above my heart Facing all my fears tonight Don't wanna hide no more in the dark I better toughen up, oh no I better toughen up, oh no, no, no, no, no Treading water in the dark I don't wanna hide, hide, hide, hide Treading water in the dark To keep my head above my heart Facing all my fears tonight Don't wanna hide no more in the dark Treading water in the dark To keep my head above my heart Facing all my fears tonight Don't wanna hide no more in the dark
