Afraid Of The Dark

I've given my life

I've suffered and sacrificed to find

That fear is only fatal till it's alchemized

To heal is to repurpose

Take the stage and siphon all the power from the pain

I turned my struggles into my strength

If the answer is in the unknown

Would you question the path you'd take?

If the past didn't hurt to let go

Would your future be yours to reclaim?

You'll never know

Yourself till you walk alone

With blind faith and broken bones

So follow the light in your heart

And be not afraid of the dark

Will you follow?

Me to where love met destruction

Doubt only dies if you keep pouring trust in

Fight, or surrender your peace

'Cause it's give up or give everything

You'll never know

Yourself till you walk alone

With blind faith and broken bones

So carry the torch in your heart

And be not afraid of the dark

How much are you willing to bleed?

To suffer for what you believe?

We can't see the end from the start

So don't be afraid of the dark

And walk with me

From the ashes

I was reborn free

And from the grave, I was rebuilt by what broke me

Rebuilt by what broke me

So tear me apart and you'll see

You'll see the spine, the heart, the blood in the dirt

You'll feel the pain, the rage that feeds on the hurt

On every scar is a badge of a lesson I've learned

That took me twenty fucking years to earn

And now I know

I don't have to do this alone

A creature that found a home

When life drained the light from my heart

You pulled me from the dark

I've given you everything (Everything)

A lifeline in pieces of me (Pieces of me)

We can't see the end from the start

But I don't fear the dark

Dark inside, with purpose and passion

Sweat in blood, from Stockholm to Scranton

Fight or fright, arise from the pages

Fear not the dark, if you mean it, you'll make it
