Are You Afraid
Graveyardguy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dark attractions
I can't deny them
Your scare tactics
They drive me wild
You're saying that you're not the best for me
That you'll be the death of me
Don't need your love, I just need you right next to me
I want you obsessed with me

Feel what I fear, you're a curse not a blessing babe
Til you start undressing me
Tell me the truth now, yeah are you afraid of me?
Cause baby, you're scaring me
I feel your teeth in my neck
You rip the clothes off my back
You're driving me crazy, I might die
You got me screaming for my life
Deadly and dangerous, oh my
Tell me, are you afraid?
Trick me, treat me
Long as you eat me
You're so sweet like
Razorblade candy
You're saying that you're not the best for me
That you'll be the death of me
Don't need your love, I just need you right next to me
I want you obsessed with me
Feel what I fear, you're a curse not a blessing babe
Til you start undressing me
Tell me the truth now, yeah are you afraid of me?
Cause baby, you're scaring me
I feel your teeth in my neck
You rip the clothes off my back
You're driving me crazy, I might die
You got me screaming for my life
Deadly and dangerous, oh my
Tell me, are you afraid?
You're saying that you're not the best for me
You're the death of me
Don't need your love, need you next to me
I want you obsessed with me
It's a curse, not a blessing
I feel what I fear as we both start undressing
Tell me, are you afraid of me?
Are you afraid of me?
Are you afraid of me?
Are you afraid of me?
Are you afraid of me?
Cause baby you're scaring me
I feel your teeth in my neck
You rip the clothes off my back
You're driving me crazy, I might die
You got me screaming for my life
Deadly and dangerous, oh my
Tell me, are you afraid?
You're saying that you're not the best for me
That you'll be the death of me
Don't need your love, I just need you right next to me
I want you obsessed with me
Feel what I fear, you're a curse not a blessing babe
Til you start undressing me

Tell me the truth now, yeah are you afraid of me?
Are you afraid of me?
