Afraid Of The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every night, I try to run, but in vain
Anytime 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 her! Fight it! | I’m afraid of the dark!
Fight her! Fight it! | I’m afraid of the dark!
Fight her! 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
Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark!
Give me the light that I need to escape!
If we | cursed instead of | blessed,
Help me | lay us | both to | rest
