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?
