Verse 1 Are you afraid of the dark? Are you afraid of death? Those are the questions people always ask. As if every fear belongs to the night. No one asks if youโre afraid of another sunrise. Another crowded room. Another day of pretending youโre alright. Pre-Chorus I carry fear. Just not the one they expect. Chorus Iโm afraidโฆ But not of the darkness. The darkness has never asked me to be someone else. Iโm afraid of the light. Iโm afraid of life. Iโm afraid of people. Sometimes the brightest places are where the deepest wounds are made. Verse 2 The night never judged my silence. It never laughed. It never turned away. People can. Life can. A single word can stay inside a heart long after the voice is gone. Bridge Maybe thatโs why I keep walking where the shadows are longer. Not because theyโre safe. Because theyโre honest. The light can hide just as much as the darkness ever could. Final Chorus Are you afraid of the dark? Are you afraid of death? Iโm afraidโฆ But not of the darkness. Iโm afraid of the light. Of waking up and wondering which face is real today. Iโm afraid of life. Iโm afraid of people. Stillโฆ I open the door every morning. That must mean thereโs still a little hope left inside me. Outro Are you afraid of the dark? Noโฆ Iโm afraid of the light.
