Lyrics[]
Out on the street I'm stalking the night I can hear my heavy breathing Paid for the kill, but it doesn't seem right Something there I can't believe in Voices are calling from inside my head I can hear them, I can hear them Vanishing memories of things that were said They can't try to hurt me now But a shot in the dark One step away from you Just a shot in the dark Always creeping up on you, alright Taught by the powers that preach over me I can hear their empty reason I wouldn't listen, I learned how to fight I opened up my mind to treason But just like the wounded, and when it's too late They'll remember, they'll surrender Never a care for the people who hate Underestimate me now But a shot in the dark One step away from you Just a shot in the dark Always creeping up on you, alright But just like the wounded, and when it's too late They'll remember, they'll surrender Never a care for the people who hate Underestimate me now But a shot in the dark One step away from you Just a shot in the dark Always creeping up on you Just a shot in the dark
