When the light starts to dim in the evening

When the day starts to fade

Your body echoes an uneasy feeling

You know you're feeling afraid



You don't know where you're going

Or where you've been

You try to run- but it's too late

You've stumbled in 



-Now you're 

Screaming, 'cause you're afraid of the dark

Screaming toward the light

Screaming, 'cause there's a fear in your heart

Screaming into the night



On your face I can see that you're worried

On your face I see fear

Is this the time that you said you'd run lady?

From your darkest fears



You don't know where you're going

Or where you've been

You try to run- but it's too late

You've stumbled in



-Now you're

Screaming, 'cause you're afraid of the dark

Screaming toward the light

Screaming, 'cause there's a fear in your heart

Screaming into the night



It's too late to run now

I'm right behind

You're over now- I see you

Screaming into the night
