Afraid Of The Dark
Greg Downey Pres. R.I.C.O Lyrics

I'm still afraid of the dark
Despite growing up, I still have a phobia of the dark

Afraid of what haunts me
I fear the unknown things that could be lurking in the dark

When the lights aren't shining
In the absence of light, my fear intensifies

I'm still afraid of the monsters
I am scared of imaginary or real creatures that may harm me

Who are under my bed
I fear that something might be hiding where I can't easily see

And they won't let me rest
My fear doesn't let me relax and induces insomnia

I'm still scared to be alone
I fear loneliness more than anything else

But is it better being lonely
I wonder if being alone is worse than facing my fears

When it's all you've ever known?
Perhaps I am so used to being alone that it is comfortable for me

I'm still scared of the heights
I fear high places and what would happen if I fell

Does the view from above
Is it worth the fear to see the world from a different perspective?

Let you see what you'll have to give up?
Is the sight worth the risk of losing life?

Ooooooohhhhhh
An expression of pain and melancholy

I'm still living in fear
My terror still controls me and shapes my life

Too scared of a life
I avoid taking risks and trying new things due to fear

That makes you wish just to die
My fear is so consuming that it makes me question the purpose of life

I'm so fearful of losing
The idea of failing and losing control scares me

After pushing so hard
Despite my fear, I strive to overcome it and make progress

The light still seems far
My situation appears dim and challenging

And I still get scared of the small things
Petty matters still have a way of frightening me

How can I be the hero
I want to be a leader and inspiration to others

When I am so fearful?
But my fears make me question my ability to be a role model

Oh, they can't count on me
I don't want to let down people who rely on me

Cause I'm stuck fighting shadows
But I feel trapped, fighting imaginary threats without much impact

And losing the battles
I'm not winning my fight against my phobia

I know I need a little help right now
I realize I can't handle this alone and need external support

Cause I'm torn apart
My fear has left me broken and vulnerable

I need you God
I turn to a higher power to help me find strength and courage

To steady my heart
To calm my anxious heart and help me focus

Cause I'm still afraid of the dark
I long to be free of my phobia and not feel scared of darkness

Afraid of the dark
My specific fear, which holds me back and makes life difficult

Oooooohhhhhhhh
An expression of pain and melancholy

I'm still afraid of the dark
Repeating the theme of the song, highlighting the intense impact of this issue in the artist's life
