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
