Fear Of The Dark

[Verse 1]
I'm not invincible
Still try to make out little shapes in the darkness
Don't wanna stare too long
Might start to see a couple freaks and I don't know if I'd like them
And they stare back at me
I know they know that I can't see
So I'll start gathering many candles and I'll light them

[Chorus]
All my life I've been afraid of the dark
Swear something's got a taste of my blood
It can smell it from a mile afar
All my life I've been afraid of the dark
Swear something's got a taste of my blood
It can smell it from a mile afar
Won't you light a lantern if I asked you to?

[Verse 2]
All of your fears feed off of your strife
I'll try to be near you'll make it through the nighttime
I can still hear you crying for the lights
Like they are your seer they light your whole life bright

[Chorus]
All my life I've been afraid of the dark
Swear something's got a taste of my blood
It can smell it from a mile afar
Won't you light a lantern if I asked you to?

[Post-Chorus]
I don't wanna be alone in the dark
Scary monsters wanna tear me apart
Someone save me I keep hearing them growl
Won't you light a lantern if I asked you to?
