Afraid of the Dark (Demo)

Something in my center wants to bloom like it's a woundSomething forgotten in the corner of my roomCrawling the walls and turning circles in my wombSomething I better give up soonShe'll be coming around the corner when she comesStifle her opinion to contribute something dumbAnything to keep up the illusion that I'm numbIs everybody having fun? Then my work here is doneYou spineless girlYou should donate your legs because you never standYou should throw a fucking party, you should hire a bandSit in the cеnter of a big dance floor andWherе's all the attention you've been asking for?Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you areI'm whatever you are, you areBlame it on my parents or the moon and starsBut maybe I'm just like thisAre you afraid of the dark? I am if you areI'm whatever you are, you areBlame it on the nights I got a couple scarsBut maybe I'm just like thisSlingshot pistol, playground toysI still can't find a real, live boy'Cause I'm a walking dress-up chestI'm bending, breaking, be my guestI'll be tumbling down the mountain when I'm doneCreeping up on thirty, no excuses that I'm youngStaring down my twenties like the barrel of a gunIs everybody having fun? Well then my work here is doneYou spineless girlYou should donate your legs because you never standYou should throw a fucking party, you should hire a bandSit in the center of a big dance floor andWhere's all the attention you've been asking for?Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you areI'm whatever you are, you areBlame it on my parents or the moon and starsBut maybe I'm just like thisAre you afraid of the dark? I am if you areI'm whatever you are, you areBlame it on the nights I got a couple scarsBut maybe I'm just like thisDo you see yourself when you look in my eyes?When you see me walking, do you recognizeYour own two feet inside my shoes?I'd rather be like youAre you afraid of the dark? I am if you areI'm whatever you are, you areBlame it on my parents or the moon and starsBut maybe I'm just like thisAre you afraid of the dark? I am if you areI'm whatever you are, you areBlame it on the nights I got a couple scarsBut maybe I'm just like this
