As a child, I was frightened



When someone put out the light



I thought those dark, evil demons



Only ever came out at night



Now I wake up in the morning



Can't keep them demons at bay



I look in the mirror frightened by the light of the day



Frightened by the light of the day



I made a cross once to chase them away



I prayed to God, but even he was afraid



Somebody help me



I can't stand this emptiness



I've known your love



And I need it to survive



I'm sound in body and sound in mind



But this emptiness



Like some disease, it eats away inside



I am frightened of dying



I'm afraid for my soul



Afraid of where it is hiding



Afraid of where it will go



I am frightened of knowing



But more afraid not to know



If I chose this life



I chose it from the very back row



I chose it from the very back row



I made a cross once to chase them away



I prayed to God, but even he was afraid



Somebody help me



I can't stand this emptiness



I've known your love



And I need it to survive



I'm sound in body and sound in mind



But this emptiness



Like some disease, it eats away inside



As a child, I was frightened



When someone put out the light



I thought those dark, evil demons



Only ever came out at night



Now I wake up in the morning



Can't keep them demons at bay



I look in the mirror frightened by the light of the day



Frightened by the light of the day



Frightened by the light of the day
