I was scared of the dark
I was scared of the dark
I was scared of the dark monsters
I hallucinated at night as a child
When everyone was asleep
I was in beds of bugs and beasts
They were real as day
Haunting in the night
I got out of the prison of my sheets
To flip on all the lights in my house
To walk slowly in circles
Until I was so exhausted
I fell asleep in the hallway
Where I stood staring naked
Dreaming of flying and floating
I was scared of the dark
I was scared of the dark
I was scared of the dark monsters
I was scared in my last darkened childhood seconds
Where I still had no Mother or Father
