Lifehouse - Near Life Experience (Smoke and Mirrors Deluxe Edition)

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

4th and final track of disc 2 from Lifehouse's latest album, Smoke and Mirrors (Deluxe Edition).

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

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?

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

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?

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

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?

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?

Great playlist!!

Lifehouse's lyrics are pure poetry. So simple and yet profound. I like this song, it's not like their usual stuff and I love them all the more for it.
