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
