Malhed – Fear of the Dark Inside | Dark Alternative Metal

Some shadows disappear when the light comes on. Others only grow longer. Fear of the Dark Inside is a song about the thing that waits beneath the skin — the voice in the silence, the face hiding behind your own, and the fear that the monster was never outside the room. Turn off the lights. Then try not to look behind you. Lyrics: [Intro] Floorboard creaks Something breathes back Shadows crawl up the wall Call my name [Verse 1] Nails on the window Clock stuck at three Blink and the closet Is staring at me Cold in my marrow Pulse on a wire Every thin whisper Splits into a choir [Pre-Chorus] I try to speak But the air turns thick Every step Feels slow Feels sick [Chorus] Fear of the dark inside It’s under my skin It’s under my spine Hands on my eyes But it lives in my mind Fear of the dark inside I’m running in place Nowhere to hide The closer I get to the light The longer it drags behind [Verse 2] Doorframe a dagger Cutting the room Coat on the hanger Looks ready to move Teeth in the silence Bite through my faith I swear something’s laughing Just out of range [Pre-Chorus] Breathe in smoke From a thought on fire I feed this beast With my own desire [Chorus] Fear of the dark inside It’s under my skin It’s under my spine Hands on my eyes But it lives in my mind Fear of the dark inside I’m running in place Nowhere to hide The closer I get to the light The longer it drags behind [Bridge] [growled backing vocals] If I turn around Will it wear my face Will it speak my name From behind my teeth If I stand my ground Will it split in two Just a shape I drew Out of what I fear is true [Chorus] Fear of the dark inside It’s under my skin It’s under my spine Hands on my eyes But it lives in my mind Fear of the dark inside I’m running in place Nowhere to hide The closer I get to the light The longer it drags behind #alternativemetal #darkmetal #atmosphericmetal #horrormetal #metalmusic
