What really lies on the other side?










I walk the streets alone at night
Wrapped in the cloak of darkness
I fear nothing in this world

I cannot sleep, so out I go
To roam the streets alone
I fear nothing in this world

As long as I can stay awake
And stroll outside at night
I fear nothing in this world

Rapists, murderers, stalkers all
Walk the streets with me
I fear nothing of this world

It's when I fall asleep at night
The demons plague my soul
I fear nothing in this world,

I'm terrified in theirs
