Lyrics Tarja – Darkness

I’m scared of swimming in the sea 
Dark shapes moving under me 
Every fear I swallow makes me small 
Inconsequential things occur 

It’s not the way it has to be 

I’m afraid of what I do not know 
I hate being undermined 
I’m afraid I can be devil man 
And I’m scared to be divine 
Don’t mess with me my fuse is short 
Beneath this skin these fragments caught 

When I allow it to be 
There’s 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 

I’m afraid of being mothered 
With my balls shut in the pen 
I’m afraid of loving women 
And I’m scared of loving men 

When I allow it to be 
It has no control over me 
I own my fear 
So it doesn’t 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
