Lyrics

I'm a man who walks alone
When I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to fade
Sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, Fortaleza
(Fear of the dark)
I have a phobia, someone's always there, yeah
Have you run your fingers down the wall?
Have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You sense that something's watching you
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind?
Turned around, no one's there
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, please scream it
(Fear of the dark)
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
I know your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
Dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the dark, fear of
(Fear of the dark)
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia, someone's always there
When I'm walking a dark road
I'm a man who walks alone
