Life  isn't easy from the singular side,
 Down in the hole some emotions are hard to hide.
 It's your decision, it's a chance that you take,
 It's on your head, it's a habit that's hard to break.  0:51
 Do you need  a friend, would you tell no lies?
 Would you take me in, are you lonely in the dark?
In  the dark, in  the dark, in  the dark...  1:14
 You never listen to the voices inside,
 They fill your ears as you run to a place to hide.
 You're never sure if the illusion is real,
 You pinch yourself but the mem'ries are all you feel. 1:39
 Can you break  away from your alibis?
 Can you make a play, will you meet me in the dark?
In  the dark, in  the dark, in  the dark,
in  the dark, in  the dark,  hah, hah, hah... 2:14

 Guitar solos A finish on E strum low 2:52
You  take no int'rest, no opinion's too dear,
 You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere.
 You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams,
 You'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene.  3:17
 Can you face  the fire when you see me there,
 Can you feel the fire, will you love me in the dark?  3:29
In  the dark, in  the dark, in  the dark,
in  the dark, in  the dark, in  the dark,
in  the dark, in  the dark,  hah, hah, hah, hah, hah 4:10
