I feel a story coming on
A chance to raise a few questions
About the simple solutions
That were the answers before

I see a tear running down
A silent plea I must put to words
You will interpret your own way
As I must live in its pain

This song is hurting like a thousand before
Maybe I should stop
Before I open that door again
And let the darkness in

But it's pounding so hard
I hold my head to drown it out
Then take my pen and write it down
Another of life's little miseries

That I try and understand
But I am swallowed up too fast
And down the road I'd like to walk
I tumble out of control

I feel an ending coming on
The final fact to your fiction
A heart and soul lay sinking
And all you want to do is sing along

Sing it loud until the last note ends
The bottle in my hand is reflecting again
You can disappear but I must stay
I feel another story coming on

I let the darkness in
Must let the darkness in
