[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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, no-oh
But now it's the demons that livin' inside of my head, no-oh (Oh yeah)

[Pre-Drop]
I'm afraid of the dark

[Drop]
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
Of the dark
Of the dark inside of me
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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, no-oh
But now it's the demons that livin' inside of my head, no-oh (Oh yeah)

[Pre-Drop]
I'm afraid of the dark

[Drop]
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
Of the dark
Of the dark inside of me
[Outro]
Inside of me
I'm afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of the dark
