It's way past the middle of the night
I've been waiting for the Sun to rise
I've been waiting so long
I don't know the time
See my past echo in my eyes
Wake up it still lingers in the light
But I still leave a light on
Just to ease my mind

Can't look myself in the eye
Do you know who you are?
I got demons to hide
Are you afraid of the dark?

I'm afraid
So afraid of the dark

Nothing seems to make sense
It's lonely when I'm stuck inside my head
Slowly being haunted
By thoughts I've tried to forget
Feel my body tense up
With all these things I've made a mess of
I'm still being haunted
Haunted

Can't look myself in the eye (oh)
Do you know who you are?
I got demons to hide
Are you afraid of the dark?

I'm afraid
So afraid of the dark

(Are you afraid?)
(Are you afraid?)
I know there's something hiding in the dark
There's a part of me that's been lost
I should've seen the writing on the wall
Now I'm just bracing for the fall

I'm afraid of my own shadow
The one living deep inside my brain
I'm terrified that it might get out
Never thought I'd see the day

I can't look myself in the eye
Do you know who you are? (eye)
I got demons to hide
Are you afraid of the dark?

I'm afraid (ooh yeah)
So afraid of the dark (oh)
(Are you afraid?)
