Lower Than Atlantis
Scared of the Dark
Man is
Afraid of the unknown
I don't know what the night brings
When I'm alone

The lamp's on
It's always been that way
It's a way, I hope that things
Will always stay

And I'm embarrassed to say
That I'm still scared of the dark at my age
It's not the monsters under my bed or in the wardrobe
I just feel alone in the dark
With the lights off and eyes closed

Now the world knows
The world knows

In darkness
I see shapes and beings on the walls
And in the corners of the ceiling

Fears surround me
Like an army of ninja ghosts
Waiting for me to sleep
It's when they attack the most

That's when they attack the most

And I'm embarrassed to say
That I'm still scared of the dark at my age
It's not the monsters under my bed or in the wardrobe
I just feel alone in the world
With lights off and eyes closed

Now the world knows
The world knows

And I'm embarrassed to say
That I'm still scared of the dark at my age
It's not the monsters under my bed or in the wardrobe
I just feel alone in the world
With lights off and eyes closed

Man is
Afraid of the unknown
