Afraid Lyrics by Palisades

Mind Games

2015

The one thing
We can’t ever change is free will
We can’t dwell on it
Even though
It gets hard to breathe
It feels heavy on me, it feels heavy

But I’ll sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight
A dark cloud hangs over things that you said
Sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight
Knowing I can’t let it get in my head

Ohh, whatever’s gonna be, let it happen
Ohh, can’t control what cannot be contained!
Ohh, and when you’re left for dead, show ‘em what’s left
Ohh, when it’s dark you cannot be afraid!

Can’t explain
How people change
From so close to so far away
It's so fast
How it can go from a
Dream to a nightmare

But I’ll sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight
Knowing that I can depend on myself
Sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight
Knowing that I won’t be anyone else

Ohh, whatever’s gonna be, let it happen
Ohh, can’t control what cannot be contained!
Ohh, and when you’re left for dead, show ‘em what’s left
Ohh, when it’s dark you cannot be afraid!

But I’ll sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight
Knowing that I can depend on myself
Sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight
Knowing that I won’t be anyone else

Ohh, whatever’s gonna be, let it happen
Ohh, can’t control what cannot be contained!
Ohh, and when you’re left for dead, show ‘em what’s left
Ohh, when it’s dark you cannot be afraid!

When it’s dark you cannot be afraid!
