Victimized by all the charms   Now it's got me by the arms   And left its mark on me   My reflection says it all   Now I have no place to fall   But back into my darkest days      Back into obsessive discontent   And my imperfections rule my head      Beat 'em down, beat 'em down this time   Powerful, but I'll do just fine   Keep in mind you're always on my mind   But never whole again      Comfort and support   You spread yourself around   Lingering, you often leave me   Feeling lost and ordinary      Back into obsessive discontent   And my imperfections rule my head      Beat 'em down, beat 'em down this time   Powerful, but I'll do just fine   Keep in mind you're always on my mind   But never whole again   You'll return to play with my mind   And the carnival mirror of my life   Puttin' up the strongest fight   You'll be running out of sight      I don't wanna find a way   To be back ... to be back ...   Back into my darkest day      Beat 'em down, beat 'em down this time   Powerful, but I'll do just fine   Keep in mind you're always on my mind   But never whole again      Beat 'em down, beat 'em down this time   Powerful, but I'll do just fine   Keep in mind you're always on my mind   But never whole again   You'll return to play with my mind   And the carnival mirror of my life   Puttin' up the strongest fight   You'll be running out of sight      Beat 'em down, beat 'em down this time   Powerful, but I'll do just fine
