Darkness — текст песни (Peter Gabriel)

i`m scared of swimming in the sea
dark shapes moving under me
every fear i swallow makes me small
inconsequential things occur
alarms triggered
memories stir
it`s not the way it has to be

i`m afraid of what i do not know
i hate being undermined
i`m afraid i can be devil man
and i`m scared to be divine
don`t mess with me my fuse is short
beneath this skin these fragments caught

when i allow it to be
there`s no control over me
i have my fears
but they do not have me

walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods
the deeper i go, the darker it gets
i peer through the window
knock at the door
and the monster i was
afraid of
lies curled up on the floor
is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

i cry until i laugh

i`m afraid of being mothered
with my balls shut in the pen
i`m afraid of loving women
and i`m scared of loving men
flashbacks coming every night
don`t tell me everything`s alright

walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods
the deeper i go, the darker it gets
i peer through the window
knock at the door
and the monster i was
afraid of
lies curled up on the floor
is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

i cry until i laugh
