Afraid Of The Dark (Demo)

Halsey

Compositor: Halsey

Something in my center wants to bloom like it's a wound
Something forgotten in the corner of my room
Crawling the walls and turning circles in my womb
Something I better give up soon
She'll be coming around the corner when she comes
Stiffle her opinions to contribute something dumb
Anything to keep up the illusion that I'm numb
Is everybody's having fun?
Then my work here is done

You spineless girl
You should donate your legs because you never stand
You should throw a fucking party, you should hire a band
Sit in the center of a big dancefloor and
Where's all the attention you've been asking for?

Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you are
I'm whatever you are, you are
Blame it on my parents or the Moon and stars
But maybe I'm just like this
Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you are
I'm whatever you are, you are
Blame it on the nights I got a couple scars
But maybe I'm just like this

Sling shot pistol, playground toys
I still can't find a real life boy
'Cause I am a walking dress up chest
I'm bending, breaking, be my guest
I'll be tumbling down the mountain when I'm done
Creeping up on thirty, no excuses that I'm young
Staring down my twenties like the barrell of a gun
Is everybody's having fun?
Well then my work here is done

You spineless girl
You should donate your legs because you never stand
You should throw a fucking party, you should hire a band
Sit in the center of a big dancefloor and
Where's all the attention you've been asking for?

Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you are
I'm whatever you are, you are
Blame it on my parents or the Moon and stars
But maybe I'm just like this
Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you are
I'm whatever you are, you are
Blame it on the nights I got a couple scars
But maybe I'm just like this

Do you see yourself when you look in my eyes?
When you see me walking do you recognize
Your own two feet inside my shoes?
I'd rather be like you

Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you are
I'm whatever you are, you are
Blame it on my parents or the Moon and stars
But maybe I'm just like this
Are you afraid of the dark? I am if you are
I'm whatever you are, you are
Blame it on the nights I got a couple scars
But maybe I'm just like this
