you tell me when to be afraid 
so i know when to turn away 
i will be yours to lead astray 
my independence will decay 

we teach each other how to fear 
when insecure we disappear 
a peace we've been deprived of 
never taught each other how to 
love 

i keep my eyes out for hurt 
and ways that i could subvert 
trained into a state of high alert 
my vision was yours to pervert 

we teach each other how to fear 
when insecure we disappear 
a peace we've been deprived of 
never taught each other how to 
love
