Afraid Of The DarkEvery day, I try to run, but in vainAnytime I stop, it all starts again In the shadows I cast, silhouettes of the past Every day, I lie and say, that I'm cured Even though I know they're just empty words If there's nowhere to turn Am I destined to burn? Who is my salvation when no one's aware I'm at war? (Under this skin) I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! (Under this skin) I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark inside me! Every year, I pray that I'll be released On my knees, I beg and plead for some peace And the answer's the same: I'm consumed by her flames Who is my salvation when no one's aware I'm at war? (Under this skin) I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! (Under this skin) I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark I'm afraid of the dark I'm afraid of the dark I'm afraid of the dark inside me! Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark! Give me the light that I need to escape! Give me the light if we cursed instead of blessed Help me, lay us both to rest Help me, lay us both to rest (Under this skin) I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! (Under this skin) I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight it! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark I'm afraid of the dark I'm afraid of the dark I'm afraid of the dark inside me! |
