If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf,
|
you might not understand, but I bet you'd believe
|
this bat is inside, crawling around
|
the cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out.
|
|
You said I look like a ghost, man I almost was.
|
You said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz,
|
that picture in time, frozen like ice
|
that girls keep repeating, beating me down to size.
|
|
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark.
|
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need.
|
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
|
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
|
|
The night is my friend, I blend in with the best:
|
The vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest.
|
Now we can pretend that we really care less,
|
and act like we love what we really detest.
|
|
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark.
|
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need.
|
Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
|
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
|
|
Make this go away, I'm begging please-
|
there's little life left here for me to bleed.
|
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
|
|
I'm looking up but I'm feeling down,
|
since I'm cutting these corners, was cutting me down to size.
|
|
Am I losing control or losing my mind?
|
I know for a fact I'm losing my last place to hide.
|
|
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark.
|
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need.
|
Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
|
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
|
|
My pulse is racing, I can't catch my breath.
|
This near-life experience scared me to death.
|
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
|
|
Or is this where we begin?
