Closed my eyes, so I couldn't see it Felt so numb, but now I'm ready to feel it So tonight I'm making friends With all the creatures that are hiding there under my bed I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore Now I'm gonna let in all the light, tear down the walls At my worst I found my army strong All the demons are gone You can try and scare me now, but I ain't scared no more (I ain't scared no more) (I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more) It's my life, I'm ready to lead it I'm gonna roll the dice, you better believe it So tonight I'm making friends With all the creatures that are hiding there under my bed I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore Now I'm gonna let in all the light, tear down the walls At my worst I found my army strong All the demons are gone You can try and scare me now, but I ain't scared no more (I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more) (I ain't scared no more) No, no, I ain't scared, I ain't scared I ain't gonna hold on to these monsters anymore Now I'm gonna let in all the light, tear down the walls At my worst I found my army strong All the demons are gone You can try and scare me now, but I ain't scared no more (I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more) I ain’t scared no more (I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared no more) (I ain't, I ain't, I ain't scared) no more
