Song language: English
Darkness |
| I’m scared of swimming in the sea |
| Dark shapes moving under me |
| Every fear I swallow makes me small |
| Inconsequential things occur |
| Alarms are triggered |
| Memories stir |
| It’s not the way it has to be |
| I’m afraid of what I do not know |
| I hate being undermined |
| I’m afraid I can be devil man |
| And I’m scared to be divine |
| Don’t mess with me my fuse is short |
| Beneath this skin these fragments caught |
| When I allow it to be |
| There’s no control over me |
| I have my fears |
| But they do not have me |
| Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods |
| The deeper I go, the darker it gets |
| I peer through the window |
| Knock at the door |
| And the monster I was |
| So afraid of |
| Lies curled up on the floor |
| Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy |
| I cry until I laugh |
| I’m afraid of being mothered |
| With my balls shut in the pen |
| I’m afraid of loving women |
| And I’m scared of loving men |
| Flashbacks coming in every night |
| Don’t tell me everything’s alright |
| When I allow it to be |
| It has no control over me |
| I own my fear |
| So it doesn’t own me |
| Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods |
| The deeper I go, the darker it gets |
| I peer through the window |
| Knock at the door |
| And the monster I was |
| So afraid of |
| Lies curled up on the floor |
| Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy |
| I cry until I laugh |
