It's only in your minds eye all these things you see
Never ending noises but there's nothing there at all
Quickly switch the light on an they seem to disappear
But they'll be back again as soon as it gets dark
Now you'll see the shadows move all across the room
Some of them are staring back waiting in the gloom
Heart beat races to a scream reaching critical
Breathing heavy in cold sweat you can't control at all
Ain't no use in hiding, ain't no use at all
Nightmare cities, amusement parks
Just afraid of the dark
The curtains moving all too slow breathing in and out
And it's now no use pretending they've seen your wide eyes shut
Shivers running down your spine with a rhythm with your shout
And now they're back again to take you in the dark
Now you'll see the shadows move all across the room
Some of them are staring back waiting in the gloom
Heart beat races to a scream reaching critical
Breathing heavy in cold sweat you can't control at all
Ain't no use in hiding, ain't no use at all
Nightmare cities, amusement parks
Just afraid of the dark
Afraid of the dark x6
Afraid of the dark x5
