I tried to tell you that there's always    two sides to the blade    I saw my future cave in from the roots of decay    The dark cloud started dancing all over the sun    Whatever it took to make my blood run    I had a ways to go    Sorrow that you'll never know    But lately it's beginning to show    And I tell myself never again       The armies of doubt were playing war in my head    I couldn't recover from the things that they said    Crash landed in the safehouse under the stairs    Last place on earth where anyone cares    Never dreamed I'd fall to this    Something that I couldn't resist    And now I just clench my fists    And I tell myself never again       Run silent, run deep, run as fast as you can    Let the rest of the world slide through your hands    Old habits die hard like a fatal disease    They cut you so deep, you can never come clean    I've got a past to pay    I got demons to face    I can't just run away    But I tell myself never again
