Cross my heart

And hope to die

I’ve done it all

A thousand times

I live in the city of angels

But nobody tells you it’s dangerous, ohh

24 hours wasted

Maybe my light is fading

When I’m closing my eyes

I get close to the nightmare, nightmare

So I never go to sleep

I keep chasing the high

Try to run but they’re right there, right there

It’s making me crazy

I used to be scared of the monsters up under my bed, oh

But now it’s the demons that livin’ inside of my head, oh

I’m afraid of the dark

I’m afraid, I’m afraid

I’m afraid of the dark

I’m afraid of the dark, oh

I’m afraid of the dark, of the dark, of the dark inside of me

I came here with an innocence

One night led to years of this

I used to dream of the angels

A place full of grace

Now it’s painful

I’m tired of slaying dragons

That maybe I just imagined

When I’m closing my eyes

I get close to the nightmare, nightmare

So I never go to sleep

I keep chasing the high

Try to run but they’re right there, right there

It’s making me crazy

I used to be scared of the monsters up under my bed, oh

But now it’s the demons that livin’ inside of my head, oh

I’m afraid of the dark

I’m afraid, I’m afraid

I’m afraid of the dark

I’m afraid of the dark, oh

I’m afraid of the dark, of the dark, of the dark inside of me

Inside of me

Oh, I’m afraid of the dark

Oh, I’m afraid of the dark
