i'm afraid of the dark.
i'm afraid of losing control.
i lock my door at night, knowing nobody will come in.
my fear overpowers my common sense - welcome to society.
so i turn on the lights, turn on the radio.
and i lay there, for hours, waiting for my mind to turn off.
but it never does.
the thoughts turn into dreams, and dreams turn into memories.
i dream of running away to someplace beautiful, desirable.
but i'm just a kid who's afraid of the dark
who locks her door and turns up the world around her
in fear of being alone.
