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?
