Fight the 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

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
