Near Life Experience

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] [Outro] 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?
