I used to be afraid of the dark
I used to think that there were horrible things
Lurking in the shadows

Creatures waiting to take you
Ghosts waiting to scare you
Monsters waiting to hurt you



I did not know
That these horrible things
Are really inside my head



It's not the creatures that will take me
It's the darkness that consumes me

It's not the ghosts that will scare me
It's the sudden realisations that frighten me

It's not the monsters that will hurt me
It's the pain and hatred that makes me hurt myself




I was never really afraid of the dark



I was afraid of the devils my brain had created
