lyrics
I had a ghost,
a hollow shell
of a former self.
with a life that escaped from hell
desperate for something else.
(dishonest
empty promise)
The poison mill grinds to a halt
got caught up in my own faults,
take pauses, i won’t stall
this will not fall.
the world isn’t in my way at all
ran out of breath idleing
toxins keep me smiling
antidote bottle’s dried out
and you won’t reach me in my hideout.
its dark in circle one,
far off parts all overrun.
right now,
I've been Jekyll too long,
High time I let Hyde out.
I face fears
to waste time sometimes,
i can turn a page just fine,
some words i left behind,
i write between the lines
ran out of breath idleing
toxins keep me idlein
antidote bottle’s dried out
I retreat to my hideout.
its dark in circle one,
far off parts all overrun.
right now,
I've been Jekyll too long,
High time I let Hyde out.
I cannot take,
for god sake,
these fumes off a hot plate,
volatile concentrated
and when it condensates,
I take that straight, and i hate it.
ran out of breath idleing
toxins keep me spiraling
antidote bottle’s dried out
and it don't bother me to retreat to my hideout
its dark in circle one,
far off parts all overrun.
right now,
I've been Jekyll too long,
High time I let Hyde out.
