PETER GABRIEL - Darkness lyrics
rate meI'm scared of swimming in the sea<br>Dark shapes moving under me<br>Every fear I swallow makes me small<br>Inconsequential things occur<br>Alarms are triggered<br>Memories stir<br><br>It's not the way it has to be<br><br>I'm afraid of what I do not know<br>I hate being undermined<br>I'm afraid I can be devil man<br>And I'm scared to be divine<br>Don't mess with me my fuse is short<br>Beneath this skin these fragments caught<br><br>When I allow it to be<br>There's no control over me<br>I have my fears<br>But they do not have me<br><br>Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods<br>The deeper I go, the darker it gets<br>I peer through the window<br>Knock at the door<br>And the monster I was<br>So afraid of<br>Lies curled up on the floor<br>Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy<br><br>I cry until I laugh<br><br>I'm afraid of being mothered<br>With my balls shut in the pen<br>I'm afraid of loving women<br>And I'm scared of loving men<br>Flashbacks coming in every night<br>Don't tell me everything's alright<br><br>When I allow it to be<br>It has no control over me<br>I own my fear<br>So it doesn't own me<br><br>Walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods<br>The deeper I go, the darker it gets<br>I peer through the window<br>Knock at the door<br>And the monster I was<br>So afraid of<br>Lies curled up on the floor<br>Is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy<br><br>I cry until I laugh
