Gabriel Peter Darkness Lyrics

Darkness Lyrics

im scared of swimming in the sea

 dark shapes moving under me

 every fear i swallow makes me small

 inconsequential things occur

 alarms are triggered

 memories stir

 

 its not the way it has to be

 

 im afraid of what i do not know

 i hate being undermined

 im afraid i can be devil man

 and im scared to be divine

 dont mess with me my fuse is short

 beneath this skin these fragments caught

 

 when i allow it to be

 theres no control over me

 i have my fears

 but they do not have me

 

 walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods

 the deeper I go, the darker it gets

 i peer through the window

 knock at the door

 and the monster i was

 so afraid of

 lies curled up on the floor

 is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

 

 i cry until i laugh

 

 im afraid of being mothered

 with my balls shut in the pen

 im afraid of loving women

 and im scared of loving men

 flashbacks coming in every night

 dont tell me everythings alright

 

 when I allow it to be

 it has no control over me

 i own my fear

 so it doesnt own me

 

 walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods

 the deeper i go, the darker it gets

 i peer through the window

 knock at the door

 and the monster i was

 so afraid of

 lies curled up on the floor

 is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

 

 i cry until i laugh
