Dark Beyond

Verse1
I was there when the night fell
when she faded into the black darkness
of far beyond

Bridge
She still cries out my name
but I can't go back
to play that game
no I can't go back
it'll drive me insane
I can't go back

Verse2
I gotta long drive home
with you on my mind
tryin' to get me back
can't you see
I can't be with you
'cause when I'm with you
I fall and I fall hard

Repeat Bridge

Chorus
I can't go back
to a place I don't belong
I can't go back
to the way I once was
I can't live with all the anger inside
my heart will die
and I'll slip away to the Dark Beyond
the Dark Beyond
the Dark Beyond

Verse3
My pain is sick and twisted enough
without you comin' to add fuel to
my fire
your face
your name is still stuck inside
my brain
I wish it would stop
I want out
'cause it's drivin' me insane

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

(solo)

Verse4
Sometimes I wish I never met you
for everything you put me through
I gotta photograph of you tattooed
to my brain
somehow you've always managed to pull
me back into the fray
not this time 
ain't no way no how
so go get bent 
'cause you ain't ever gonna get me again
so get lost
and get outta my face

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"Dark Beyond" actaully became true long after I wrote these lyrics. You get into relationships that don't work or you try to bring your best to the table for a woman you're interested in and they want absolutely nothing to do with you. What gets under my skin even more is when they don't have the guts to tell you theirselves, but they'll go tell everyone else cuz they don't wanna "hurt your feelings." What a bunch of bull. Be up front and honest with me. Don't string me along and then go for someone else. That's childish.
