DEΔDWΔVES – Afraid Of The Dark

🎧 DEΔDWΔVES – Afraid Of The Dark (Official Audio)

🌑🕯️ For the nights when the house is quiet, your phone is dead,
and your thoughts get louder than anything you’re running from.

“Afraid Of The Dark” isn’t about monsters under the bed —
it’s about the ones in your head.
The doubts, the memories, the fears that only speak when the lights go out.
The dark doesn’t create them… it just turns the volume up.

This song lives in that space between paranoia and honesty,
where fear feels real, silence feels alive,
and the truth starts asking questions you can’t ignore.

🌒 If you’ve ever laid awake listening to the dark breathe back at you…
this one’s for you.

🖤 Lyrics – “Afraid Of The Dark”

Lights off, phone dead, ceiling breathes,
Every shadow feels like it’s watchin’ me.
Footsteps echo in an empty hall,
Probably nothing—but my heart still stalls.
Posters peel on my bedroom wall,
Faces warp when the nightfall calls.
I tell myself it’s all in my head,
But the silence talks when the world’s in bed.

I swear I hear my name in the static hum,
Like the dark knows secrets I’m running from.
Every creak feels loaded, every thought goes sharp,
Funny how fear learns to speak in the dark.

Are you afraid of the dark, or just what you’ll find?
When the lights go out and you’re stuck in your mind.
Are you afraid of the dark, of the things that stare?
Of the “what if’s” hiding everywhere.
I’m holding my breath in the dead of the night,
Prayin’ the monsters don’t win this fight.
Yeah, are you afraid of the dark—
’Cause I am… every night.

Streetlight flickers like it’s gonna die,
Paints long ghosts as the cars roll by.
Window taps like it knows my past,
Every bad memory crawling back fast.
I count my breaths, I count to ten,
But my brain won’t shut up again.
Every fear wears a different face,
But they all know how to say my name.

I laugh it off like I’m not scared,
But my hands still shake when nobody’s there.
It’s funny how brave you feel in the light,
Then the dark turns courage into fright.

Are you afraid of the dark, or just being alone?
With your thoughts on replay, every crack in your bones.
Are you afraid of the dark, of the silence it brings?
Of the nightmares that don’t need dreams.
I’m wide awake with my heart on spark,
Tryna outrun the shadows in the dark.
Yeah, are you afraid of the dark—
’Cause it knows who you are.

I tell myself it’s just my head,
But fear feels real when you’re under your bed.
If monsters are fake, then why do they feel
Like they’re teaching my panic what’s real?

Maybe the dark’s just a mirror of me,
All the parts that I don’t wanna see.
All the doubts, all the scars I hide,
All the voices sayin’ “you won’t survive.”
If I turn on the light, do they disappear?
Or do they just wait until no one’s here?
Maybe I’m scared ’cause deep down I know
The dark’s where the truth likes to grow.

I’m not scared of ghosts or blood or knives,
I’m scared of wasting my whole damn life.
Scared I’ll wake up still feelin’ small,
Still runnin’ from shadows on my wall.

Are you afraid of the dark, or the things you ignore?
The parts of yourself you can’t lock the door.
Are you afraid of the dark, when the night gets loud?
When you’re screaming inside but you don’t make a sound.
I’m standing still in a pitch-black heart,
Tryna find myself before I fall apart.
Yeah, are you afraid of the dark—
Don’t lie… we all are.

Sun’ll come up, I’ll joke and pretend,
Like I didn’t break just to bend again.
But tonight when the world goes dim,
I’ll ask the dark—and it’ll answer back…
Are you afraid of me?
