Lyrics The Valley of Fear - Anna Sköld

As I walk through the valley of fear
Old familiar creatures appear
Switching on fight, flight or freeze
But I shake it off to Taylor's beats

All the monsters aren't real
Despite how I feel
Guess I had to burn (burn, burn, burn)
To refine my ability to discern

While I'm trippin through the valley of fear
I appreciate yo' stoicism my dear
It's like you're walking in sunshine
You don't even flinch (na you don't even flinch)
While the monsters are near

You say "the monsters aren't real"
Despite how I feel
"Like a Phoenix you burn (burn, burn, burn)
From the ashes you will return"

I've got fireworks, we're gonna light up the dark
I know there will be good times, good times, good times
Just follow the spark

I've chosen not to run from the valley of fear
Together we tread lightly while the heavy mist clear
You you you you you catch me when I stutter and stumble
Oh man I'm glad that you adhere

Even when the monsters aren't real
I armor up so I won't feel
And must be reminded of self love
So I can my defenses overturn

I've got fireworks, we're gonna light up the dark
I know there will be good times, good times, good times
Just follow the spark

As I recess in the valley of fear
I realize it's just like a video game in here
Different castle, different monster, different world
You can level up, yeah you can level up
But the game is the same
Only you get better
Or bitter, you choose
