"Terrified" lyrics

What kind of demon's afraid of the dark?
And what kind of monster would hide?
Forces around me could tear me apart
Worried I won't survive in the fight

I'm terrified of the shade of night
I'm terrified they'll swallow me whole
I'm terrified, more for you than I
I'm terrified the beast is the world outside
World outside

Who's gonna cover you after I'm gone
When you no longer have me to shield?
Only the strong see the light of the dawn
But the enemy's coming to kill

I'm terrified of the shade of night
I'm terrified they'll swallow me whole
I'm terrified, more for you than I
I'm terrified the beast is the world outside

I've been pleading with the devil, man, to spare me the pain
It's like the place is made of sinking sand, I might suffocate
Cry out, but no one's there
Screaming's a waste of air
Take a needle, I don't care to stand and act like I'm tall
They can't compare to what I'm up against, they're so fuckin' small
Cry out, but no one's there
Screaming's a waste of air

I'm terrified of the shade of night
I'm terrified they'll swallow me whole
I'm terrified, more for you than I
I'm terrified the beast is the world outside
Beast is the world outside!
