ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

yes. yes i am.

cut off my hair and faked so many smiles

i promised you all it isn't a lifestyle

but you don't believe me, do you?

i guess i should be scared like that too

i tore up my bedsheets after you left

i just couldn't stand your kind of theft

stole my heart, and i haven't gotten it back

now all that's in its place is pitch, pitch black

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

yes...

i want to end it all but also i don't

you see i have this one small ounce of hope

that life will get better but maybe it won't

i need to shut my mouth or clean it with soap

that night on the roof you both broke me in half

you are t and b, now all you do is laugh

don't try to take advantage of me ever again

i am not scared, but you're impossible to tame

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

yes.

i'm sorry to you, who i ignored and neglected

right when you needed me i was infected

by the hideous monsters who hide under my bed

linda is a woman who fills me with dread

and to you, whom i want to love so badly

i can't right now, though i'm into you madly

there are so many difficulties that come with me

i can't ask you to wait, i cannot even plea

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

i know i am...

i need you in my life, you are my rock

but sometimes when i'm with you i can't even talk

you need to take more care of yourself

and then i will spill my problems off of the shelf

i trust you and love you but take care of you first

i know that you think that you are cursed

rough around the edges, but the softest heart

i hope you know that you're a work of art

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?

it's true.

and to nicki and mary, you are my addiction

maybe it's time for nicki's crucifixion

mary, you can stay in my life for good

but i breathe you in more than i ever should

i need a break, i need to temporarily sleep

i realize that i've fallen too deep

in life, in love, in friendship and intimacy

i just wish i could have back all my innocency

ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?
