Afraid of the Dark

Sleeping with their night lights on From dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn Children learn to fear the dark Adults learn to numb their hearts But when you’re grown and all alone Still the shadows haunt your home But truth be told; when nights are cold It’s not the dark that chills our bones Something darker scares our souls We’re not afraid of darkness We’re afraid of what’s within it So flip the switch, turn on the light To ward off creatures of the night Assure yourself once or twice That they can’t come into the light But still they come, day and night The light doesn’t kill them It helps them hide
