AFRAID OF THE DARK

Silence Every breathe is like a tidal wave hide away Imagination isn't coming to save me Thought I was alone now I can't escape it I can feel it closing in yeah Nowhere left to run Close my eyes and let it bury me down Bury me But I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark I'm not afraid of the dark No I'm not afraid of the dark I'm afraid of The tricks my mind has played on me Making me believe that I've been living in a dream when these nightmares are all real I keep my eyes on the ceiling but all I can see is an ocean of darkness Filling my eyelids blinded by the absence my mind has created I'm not afraid but the unknown is what I keep questioning All of these questions bring more than I want to know Chills up and down my arms I feel it in my blood I could paint a picture of every monster I've created False hallucinations lead to false communication in my brain I'm in a hostage situation hands around my neck cemented to my bed I feel the tension in my chest and I can't escape this fear in my veins I guess I'm afraid I guess I'm afraid of What I can't see What's hiding underneath The surface I see What's hiding underneath
