I'm afraid of the dark I'm frightened at the way it closes in How it ***** the breath out of me The lurking shadows follow me And haunt me in my dreams The dark used to be peaceful But now it's full of terror All my faults And all my emotions Come out of their cages They torment me all night long Without letting up It's in the dark where I can't pretend Where I have to face the truth That I can't hide forever Darkness will always find me I cannot escape I'm afraid of the dark

I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark I'm frightened at the way it closes in How it ***** the breath out of me The lurking shadows follow me And haunt me in my dreams The dark used to be peaceful But now it's full of terror All my faults And all my emotions Come out of their cages They torment me all night long Without letting up It's in the dark where I can't pretend Where I have to face the truth That I can't hide forever Darkness will always find me I cannot escape I'm afraid of the dark
