Afraid Of The Dark - Beyond The Black

Every day, 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 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!
