1. AFRAID OF THE DARK

I‘ve given my life
I 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 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 dreams
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

So tear me apart and you’ll see
You’ll see the spine, the heart, the blood on 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
A lifeline in 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 and blood, from Stockholm to Scranton
Fight or fright, arise from the pages
Fear not the dark, if you mean it you’ll make it
