Every night, I try to run, but in vain Anytime I stop, it all starts again In the shadows I cast | Silhouettes of the past Every day, I lie and say that I’m cured Even though I know they’re just empty words If there’s nowhere to turn | Am I destined to burn?
Who is | My salvation When | No one’s aware I’m at war
Under this skin | I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! Under this skin | I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! Fight her! Fight it! | I’m afraid of the dark! Fight her! Fight it! | I’m afraid of the dark! Fight her! Fight it! | I’m afraid of the dark inside me!
Every year, I pray that I’ll be released On my knees, I beg and plead for some peace And the answer’s the same: I’m consumed by her flames
Who is | My salvation When | No one’s aware I’m at war
Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark! Give me the light that I need to escape!
If we | Cursed instead of | Blessed, Help me | Lay us | Both to | Rest
