Misery overtakes me, no longer am I the boss
Inferiority grows stronger as happiness gets lost
Still hanging on, not giving up, there's so many things to save
As evil creeps into my life, surrendering, I become a slave
It's a power great and stronger then any which I've seen
Take away a speck of hope, destroying every dream
An old, old friend just now, new, returning to the scene
What's now pathetic, weak, and sad was once a human being
Don't fall in, your sure to drown,
Stagnates the fastest stream
Ruins life relationship, makes nightmares of your dreams
Don't give up, keep on fighting, lock the door, now we begin
Well, he'll knock, knock, and pound some more, but just please don't let him in
'Cause it's a power great and stronger then any which I've seen
Take away a speck of hope, destroying every dream
An old, old friend just now, new, returning to the scene
What's now pathetic, weak, and sad was once a human being
My door I opened, willingly not knowing,
Young blinded and naive
Not knowing better
Mad I did this, houseguest just won't leave

Stay ??????? with no regard for those who die
I'm sure you'll find a way to make his presence justified
?He's coming close freeway now? taking what he pleases
???Standing??? and won't ?crush? on his knees/
Your dreams are lost now ????? you won't know what to do/
Just pack your bags and choose ?your route? and close the door behind you

It's a power great and stronger
Then any which I've seen
Take away a speck of hope, destroying every dream
An old, old friend just now, new, returning to the scene
What's now pathetic weak and sad was once a human being
My door I opened, willingly not knowing
Young blinded and naive,
Not knowing better,
Mad I did this, houseguest just won't leave
