I'm beginnin' to think that all of my missteps
And my mortal sins can't be all my fault
You told me from birth it was a condition
But you were dismissin' that it's a part of us all
It's what I seem to tell all of my patients
"Don't let your hatred go without a fight"
If only you had done the same thing
I wouldn't have changed into what I am tonight
And so you create an animal
I don't owe you anything at all
But I can promise you one thing
I can promise you won't
Wanna meet me in a dark alleyway
Way back when, all the drugs and therapy sessions
Resulted in less than you, doctor, had prayed
Even the beds with straps and electrodes
Had only fed those demons lurking in wait
It's unfortunate that I had to lie and
Pretend to deny that which I truly maintain
There's nothing wrong with the mind's dark corridors
And to try and ignore them is what makes us insane
And so you create an animal
I don't owe you anything at all
But I can promise you one thing
I can promise you won't
Wanna meet me in a dark alleyway
I was starting to think you wouldn't come
And so you create an animal
I don't owe you anything at all
But you just had to test me
Now you must understand
It'll end here in this dark alleyway
