Bluebyrd - Afraid of the Dark Lyrics

Why can't you see
How fragile we are
Why don't you know
We all carry scars
We are not machines
Not just flesh and bone
The need to touch is gently carved
Into our souls

Why do you think
Our worth is efficiency
And conditioned responses
There's more of us to see
You can wear a suit
But when the suit is wearing you
You've lost the plot, missed the point
There's nothing more to do

Who's afraid of the dark
We're all afraid of the dark
We're scared of lightening, shadows, God and sea
And midnight in the park
We need to hold hands
Just to get us through
'Cause when you are afraid of the dark
There's nothing more to do
Who's afraid of the dark

The tyrant's not in the castle
He's behind tinted glass and steel
He believes that the measure of a man
Is in how less he can feel
What are we now
What shall we become
As they take away all signs of life
We're uncomfortably numb

Who's afraid of the dark ...

Who's afraid of the dark ...
