[Verse 1]
The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half-light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat

[Chorus 1]
Sometimes I freeze until the light comes
Sometimes I fly into the night
Sometimes I fight against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong sometimes I'm right

[Post-Chorus 1]
Coiled for the spring
Or caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero
[Verse 2]
The menace threatens, closing
And I'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I can stand to reason
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright

[Chorus 2]
Sometimes we freeze until the light comes
Sometimes we're wrong and sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight against the darkness
Sometimes we fly into the night

[Post-Chorus 2]
Blood running cold
Mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero
[Bridge]
Sometimes I freeze
Sometimes I fight

[Outro]
Sometimes I freeze until the light comes
Sometimes I fly into the night
Into the night
Into the night
