i'm not afraid of you today

this is a story about a boy who's not afraid of anything at all/so, he went for a walk and he turned around and saw/some shadows passing through the trees a hundred feet tall/ and he said "i'm not afraid of you today"
he heard a bunch of noises as he walked up to his door/and when he got inside he heard them coming up through the floor/but he just put on a smile and said "not anymore/no, i'm not afraid of you today"

but he cries himself to sleep/ 'cause he's afraid of everything he sees/and he can lock himself away/but that won't keep his fear away/please stay, please stay

he felt their hands grabbing at him all day long/but he just closed his eyes and kept on humming a song/and every turn he made that day was right not wrong/and he said "i'm not afraid of you today"
he heard their voices whispering into his ear/and he did as they said as he wiped away her tears/but in the dark of night, in the midst of his fear he had to say/"i'm not afraid of you today"

he woke up in the morning with an unusual smile/'cause he had made it through the night and it had been a while/but the shadows they were lurking in their usual style/and he said "i'm not afraid of you today"
he washed his face, he brushed his teeth, he combed his hair/he looked in the mirror at a death giving stare/his heart sped up, his knees grew weak, he had to sit down in a chair/but he said "i'm not afraid of you today"
