Are You Afraid of the Dark? (Acoustic) Lyrics by Driveways

Five Years Down

2021

[Chorus]
I drove away so slowly
Somebody's chasing the car
I lay awake I’m only
Slightly afraid of the dark
I heard a noise I know I did
Someone's inside of the house
Did I lock the doors? I hope I did
When you find my body don't bury me under the grounds
I want to burn
I don’t deserve
Flowers and words
You'll never bury me under the grounds
I want to burn
I don't deserve
Flowers and words
You'll never bury me under the--
[Verse 1]
Grounded inside of reality, I used to count on myself for stability
Stubborn defiant mеntality, I never had insecuritiеs killing me
I wasn't rid with anxiety buried beneath indecision and doubt
They weren't living inside of me screaming as Karras is ripping them out
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing ever hits you like your first time
Xanax couldn't make it stop before
Feels like I've yet to see my worst night
Panic finds you praying on the floor
[Chorus]
I drove away so slowly
Somebody’s chasing the car
I lay awake I’m only
Slightly afraid of the dark
I heard a noise I know I did
Someone's inside of the house
Did I lock the doors? I hope I did
When you find my body don’t bury me under the grounds
I want to burn
I don't deserve
Flowers and words
You'll never bury me under the grounds
I want to burn
I don't deserve
Flowers and words
You’ll never bury me under the--
[Verse 2]
Grounded inside of delirium, I couldn't face my regret if I wanted to
Cover my ears when I'm hearing them, I live in fear of the voices that haunted you
I wasn't taking the pills for the hell of it I was beginning to fall
I feel like Regan Macneil in the ending cause I don't remember at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing ever hits you like your first time
Xanax couldn't make it stop before
Feels like I've yet to see my worst night
Panic finds you praying on the floor
[Chorus]
I drove away so slowly
Somebody's chasing the car
I lay awake I'm only
Slightly afraid of the dark
I heard a noise I know I did
Someone's inside of the house
Did I lock the doors? I hope I did
When you find my body don't bury me under the grounds
I want to burn
I don't deserve
Flowers and words
You'll never bury me under the ground
I want to burn
I don't deserve
Flowers and words
You'll never bury me under the--
[Outro]
I don't know if I can hold it together
My heart is turning cold with the weather
October Forever
I'm over the terror
I'm part of it now
I don't deserve
Your parting words
Remember the voices I heard
Just let me burn
The choices I made
My mistakes would come back from the grave
But you buried me
A funeral I don't condone
The fire would give me a sense of finality
Not an eternal abode
And I'll never be in solace in my head again
Six feet beneath every lie and deceit I would die here in peace but I can't see the light in the end
