Have you ever wondered why it seems
People have recurring dreams?
Hot cocoa didn't do any good
The doctor never understood
That when the nightmare filled my head
There was somebody under my bed
In the darkness, nothing was clear

But it was only my fear of the unknown
Another sleepless night
Had to see it through on my own
Despite my fear of the unknown
My fear of the unknown
We all grew up, but we haven't outgrown
Our fear of the unknown

Take the money and the lonely power
Be the hero in the ivory tower
Maybe you think you've discovered your niche
But there's more to being young and rich
If even the men who deal in truth
Have a sniper who lives on the roof
In the darkness, nothing is clear

But it's only my fear of the unknown
Another sleepless night
Got to see it through on my own
Despite my fear of the unknown
My fear of the unknown
We all grew up, but we haven't outgrown
Our fear of the unknown

My fear of the unknown
My fear of the unknown
My fear of the unknown
My fear of the unknown

We all grew up, but we haven't outgrown
Our fear of the unknown
Our fear of the unknown
Our fear of the unknown

(Our fear of the unknown)
(Our fear of the unknown)
Our fear of the unknown

(Our fear of the unknown)
(Our fear of the unknown)
Our fear of the unknown
