Afraid of the Dark

Talk it up or stare it down,
The broken dreams the worn down crown
Taking all your garbage out
One man’s trash another’s soul and heart

I won’t be afraid of the dark
I won’t be afraid of your broken angry hearts
I won’t be afraid of the dark
I won’t be afraid of your broken angry hearts

Glass half full but pockets empty
Open to the mindless possibilities
Wear your craft on your sleeve
Button them and hang up your beliefs

Rest your tired aching arms from this
Let your expectations dangle on the couch’s precipice

I won’t be afraid of the dark
I won’t be afraid of your broken angry hearts
I won’t be afraid of the dark
I won’t be afraid of your broken angry hearts

I won’t be afraid of the dark
Most of all your demons play the strings of broken hearts
I won’t be afraid of the dark
The lines of expectation fade when there’s nowhere else to run
