[Intro]
EmI'm not taking Cnothing for the pain
Cause my Ammusic is my only NovoBcaine
[Verse 1]
EmI draw monsters Cin my sleep
So AmI'm not afraid Bif we meet
And EmI've been fighting Cdemons nightly
AmKnow my edges, Byes I might be
  EmI might be a Clittle bit Strange
But Amthis is the life I Bcame for
EmI don't run aCway from that name
AmNo, this is that world I Bcame for
[Chorus]
Welcome to my Emdark side, I'm not taking Cnothing for the pain
Cause my Ammusic is my only NovoBcaine
Welcome to my Emdark side, I'm not taking Cnothing for the pain
Cause my Ammusic is my only NovoBcaine
Welcome to my Emdark side, I'm not taking Cnothing for the pain
Cause my Ammusic is my only NovoBcaine, Dark side

EmI keep these nightCmares in check
AmJust so they won't Bget me yet
I Emkeep emotions Cunderneath
AmBuried so no-Bone can see in
  EmYeah I know it's Cbad for my health
But Amif I'm not manic I’m Bno fun
  EmAnd I'm probably Ckilling myself
But Amanything's better than Bfeeling them
