Something's got a hold on me
I'm tired of all the sleepless nights
Everybody's trying to tear me down
No one seems to see at all
The toll that's taken me so far
Down inside this blackened hole of mine

Oh can you tell me why it's taken me so long
To come back home

Running from the darkness
I am heading for the light
I am conquering my demons
I'm still fighting for my life

Wrapped around my will to live

Addiction takes another sip
Drinking from the well of my desire
Even though I walk away
Tomorrow's just another day
To face the battle one more time again

Oh can you tell me why it's taken me so long
To come back home

Running from the darkness
I keep searching for the light
I am haunted by my demons
I'm still fighting for my life

Oh can you tell me why it's taken me so long
To come back home

Running from the darkness
I am heading for the light
I am conquering my demons
I'm still fighting for my life
Running from the darkness
I keep searching for the light
I am haunted by my demons
I'm still fighting for my life

Everybody's watching me
I wonder what they want to see
Crash and burn, or rise above it all
I close my eyes and look inside
Even though a piece has died
I've got to take a step to win the fight
