"Dragons" lyrics

I didn't wanna know
But I knew my beliefs had shifted some
So I ignored all the groans in my cavernous soul
In case I woke some dragon up
And I settled for liquid gold
Numb the worry over ice
But the longer you wait to spelunker that cave
So the longer it terrifies

And it took me two years to find the courage
But I finally did
And in just forty minutes, I faced my darkness
And I stared at it
So scared I'd lose myself
When I learned what I thought
But the dragons I feared weren't all that fierce after all
Oh, the dragons I feared weren't all that fierce after all

I kinda like my job
And I'm kinda proud of the things I've done
And I was so terrified I'd learn it's all a lie
And I'd have to find another one
And maybe in part it was
But that means a part was still divine
And I don't know if I'll ever do better than that
To link fragments of God through rhyme

Oh, it took me two years to find the courage
But I finally did
For about forty minutes, I asked who God is
And I stared at Him
So scared I'd learned Him by
A name that He's not called
But the dragons I feared weren't all that fierce after all
Oh, compared to the fear, the dragon was actually quite small
