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
