Alone, she lays waitin'
Surrounded by the gloom
Inflated by all the shadows
Paintin' the entire room
The light from the window
Cuts straight through the air
And pins the child lyin' there

Scared of the moon

She pulls up the curtain
And shivers in fright
She hides from the colours
Which ride the night
The light through the window
That lights up the sky
And causes her moon full cry
She panics and shouts 'doom'

Scared of the moon

The years go by swiftly
And soon childhood ends
But life is still fearful
When evening decends
The fear of a child
Still intrudes the night
Returning on beams of light

Scared of the moon

The feelin' of terror
She felt as a youth
Has turned from a fantasy
Into the truth
The moon is the enemy
Twisting her soul
And takin' its fearful tone

Scared of the moon

But now there's others who sit in a room
Talk about why they're scared of the gloom
This once young girl talks, of her night doom
How she used to be scared of the moon
The moon listens, in great shame
Caused these people to be forever insane
Everynight he used to enter their room

Scared of the moon

Before this song stirs confusion, I'll explain what it means. It's not about a girl who fears the dark, it's about a girl who would be sexually abused every night by her step-father. In a way, I suppose it is about a girl who's scared of the moon, because she knew when the moon came out, she would have to meet her abuser. Later on in life, this girl still fears the moon however, is now suffering great depression from a haunting past. I wrote this song to open people's minds about victims of this kind of abuse, and how they still fear the moon.
