[Verse 1: Jennifer Haben] Every day, I try to run, but in vain Anytime I stop, it all starts again In the shadows I cast, silhouettes of the past Every day, I lie and say, that I'm cured Even though I know they're just empty words If there's nowhere to turn am I destined to burn? [Refrain: Jennifer Haben] Who is my salvation when no one's aware I'm at war? [Chorus: Jennifer Haben, Christopher Hummels] (Under this skin) I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! (Under this skin) I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark inside me! [Verse 2: Jennifer Haben] Every year, I pray that I'll be released On my knees, I beg and plead for some peace And the answer's the same: I'm consumed by her flames [Refrain: Jennifer Haben] Who is my salvation when no one's aware I'm at war? [Chorus: Jennifer Haben, Christopher Hummels] (Under this skin) I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! (Under this skin) I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark inside me! [Bridge: Jennifer Haben] Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark! Give me the light that I need to escape! Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark! Give me the light that I need to escape! Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark! Give me the light that I need to escape! Give me the light that I need to defeat the dark! Give me the light that I need to escape! Give me cursed instead of blessed Help me, lay us both to rest Help me, lay us both to rest [Chorus: Jennifer Haben, Christopher Hummels] (Under this skin) I feel a stranger, her sadness and her rage! (Under this skin) I hear her screaming and rattling her cage! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark! (Fight her! Fight it!) I'm afraid of the dark inside me!
