| Don't blow the candle out, just leave it by my bed | |
| With all these ghosts and visions, trolls inside my head | |
| Just when the wolf will howl, the dogs begin to bark | |
| This is for real, I have a fear of the dark | |
| And as the endless nights will overturn the days | |
| Intellectual logic seems to vanish in a haze | |
| Paranoia has the measure of me | |
| Hallucinations now dictate reality | |
| I'm hearing voices now, I wish that I could see | |
| I look around, I know there's no-one here but me | |
| The mirror shimmers there's an angel here at last | |
| Always demons looking back, and laughing through the glass | |
| Nyctophobia, fear of the dark | |
| I am confused, I really don't know what to think | |
| Maybe Mr. Allen does 'cause he's a Harley shrink | |
| He asks me how I feel, I mumble "just okay" | |
| He says "ok's not a feeling, Jack, we need to peel away | |
| The layers of your onion, your emotional disease | |
| Blow all these candles out, I want you on your knees" | |
| It's way too dark in here, it's silent as the grave | |
| It's cold and clammy, like I'm sealed into a cave | |
| There is no air in here, I'm drowning in my fear | |
| And if I close my eyes, the ground will disappear | |
| I have a chronic phobia, and up until this day | |
| There is no guarantee that it will go away | |
| Nyctophobia, fear of the dark |
