Fear of the Dark

i am a man who walks alone
and when i'm walking a dark road
at night or strolling through the park
when the light begins to change
i sometimes feel a little strange
a little anxious when it's dark
fear of the dark, fear of the dark
i have constant fear that something's
always near
fear of the dark, fear of the dark
i have a phobia that someone's
always there
have you run your fingers down
the wall
and have you felt your neck skin crawl
when you're searching for the light?
sometimes when you're scared
to take a look
at the corner of the room
you've sensed that something's
watching you

have you ever been alone at night
thought you heard footsteps behind
and turned around and no one's there?
and as you quicken up your pace
you find it hard to look again
because you're sure there's
someone there
watching horror films the night before
debating witches and folklores
the unknown troubles on your mind
maybe your mind is playing tricks
you sense, and suddenly eyes fix
on dancing shadows from behind
fear of the dark, fear of the dark
i have constant fear that something's
always near
fear of the dark, fear of the dark
i have a phobia that someone's
always there
when i'm walking a dark road
i am a man who walks alone
