Dr Jekyll​/​Mrs Hyde

from The Art Of Misdirection by Death of a Salesman

/

lyrics

You've haunted me my whole life
Its all i can remember
Your shadow has always been there
In the back of my mind
Affecting my decisions as though it was me
It's all I've ever known
Picking and choosing who I let in
Because the fear of you
Fear of you
During the day you hold your head high
You're the person we love
Never showing what lies beneath
The true face of this beast

Dr Jekyll by day, Mrs Hyde by night
This is how you haunt me (how you haunt me)
You hit the bottle and let the beast loose,
No chains can hold (no chains can hold)
Plates in my face, scars in my mind this is how we survive
No longer will you haunt me or my family
this ends now

Watching you day by day, night by night
On your throne of bones
Only caring about your next hit,
To hide the pain you feel inside
I know you've been battered and bruised,
But this is no way to live
This beast is your escape from the life that you lead

By the end of the night you lay on the ground
Clothes ripped, soiled with the blood of others
You are happy there, this is bliss for you
you would not change a fucking thing
By the end of the night you lay on the ground
Clothes ripped, soiled with the blood of others
You are happy there, this is bliss for you
you would not change a fucking thing
I can feel the urge to end this, to save my family from this beast
To reach out and take the life from you, just as you would have me to do

This is how you haunt me (how you haunt me)
You hit the bottle and let the beast loose
No chains can hold (no chains can hold)
Plates in my face, scars in my mind,
This is how we survive
No longer will you haunt me or my family this ends now

Wake the fuck up

We tried for years to fight this, just as we fought for you
But in the end we lost it all and i hope you know
But in the end we realise this is a fight we cannot win
But in the end we realise this is a fight we've lost
