Hello darkness, my old friend

Knocking at my door again

Begging me to come outside

And let you back into my life

Now, usually I'd be strong enough

To lock the doors and keep 'em shut

But not today, I'm desperate

So go ahead and come on in

So go ahead and come on in

So go ahead and come on in

OCD is worse than ever, hands are bleeding

Maybe I should take the pills, don't

Know what's going on with me

Some days I actually think I might be schizo-

Phrenic, prolly not, but even writing this

Is making me begin to spiral, oh, God

Made a promise, told myself I wouldn't let the fear back in

But then I did, though

Told the world that I was sick of running

Then went back to running, what a joke

Disappointed, yeah, me too

I thought I finally had finally made a breakthrough, guess not

It's the same song and dance, you've all seen it before

Darkness holds out his hand, then we walk to the floor

Every decision made isn't mine anymore

Like a puppet with strings, I just don't have a choice

What's the truth? What's a lie?

Help me, God, help me, Lord

Face your fears, dry your eyes

Grandma died, what's the point?

Lost the keys, lost my hope, lost my will, lost my joy

Lost a friend, lost my home, lost my faith, lost my voice

Standing back, watching my mansion burn to ash while I

Hold the gas can, asking God if He started this fire

Is this what You wanted? Is this what You wanted?

Make all my hopes and my dreams come to life just to lay them to rest

Is this what You wanted?

Give me a false sense of peace just to show me what peace really is

Is this what You wanted?

On the verge, on the edge

Is this what You wanted?

Petrified, scared to death

Is this what You wanted?

Praying to God, desperate

Is this what You wanted, what You wanted?

Is this what You wanted?

Hanging on by a thread

Is this what You wanted?

Empty heart, nothing left

Is this what You wanted?

Breaking down, spiraling

Is this what You wanted, what You wanted?

Is this what You wanted?

Standing back

Watching my mansion

Burn to ash while I

Hold the gas can

Asking God if

He started this fire

Is this what You wanted?
