Still A Child

I remember when I was a kid

Always something going on

But a few years of being young

Then it's gone

I'm all grown up now

I'm an adult with responsibility

Yes I'm fully integrated into

This society

But as soon as I get home at night

I lock the door and stay here out of sight

Behind closed curtains I will hide

And keep this secret safely shut inside

Day ends and darkness drinks the light

I keep a candle burning through the night

Shadows fall and chill my beating heart

'Cause I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark

Lie in bed and hear the wind in the trees

Nothing seems to put my mind at ease

When I think that I have she'd my fears

A wave of panic burns between my ears

It's irrational but I don't think I'm insane

But terror creeps while I'm trying to sleep

'Till it's day again

Switch on my defenses, pull the blind

Still these visions are raging here in my mind

Shadows fall and chill my beating heart

'Cause I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark

Feel my life in the daylight tearing apart

'Cause I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark

I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark
