Still A Child<br />

<br />

I remember when I was a kid<br />

Always something going on<br />

But a few years of being young<br />

Then it's gone<br />

<br />

I'm all grown up now<br />

I'm an adult with responsibility<br />

Yes I'm fully integrated into<br />

This society<br />

<br />

But as soon as I get home at night<br />

I lock the door and stay here out of sight<br />

Behind closed curtains I will hide<br />

And keep this secret safely shut inside<br />

<br />

Day ends and darkness drinks the light<br />

I keep a candle burning through the night<br />

Shadows fall and chill my beating heart<br />

'Cause I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark<br />

<br />

<br />

Lie in bed and hear the wind in the trees<br />

Nothing seems to put my mind at ease<br />

When I think that I have she'd my fears<br />

A wave of panic burns between my ears<br />

It's irrational but I don't think I'm insane<br />

But terror creeps while I'm trying to sleep<br />

'Till it's day again<br />

<br />

Switch on my defenses, pull the blind<br />

Still these visions are raging here in my mind<br />

Shadows fall and chill my beating heart<br />

'Cause I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark<br />

<br />

Feel my life in the daylight tearing apart<br />

'Cause I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark<br />

<br />

I'm still a child and I'm afraid of the dark
