Once in a while I’ll crack a rather disingenuous and crocadillic smile,
‘Cause I see, through glass eyes, a time when I was less Jekyll, and a bit more Hyde.
Y’see... The devil’s in my mind, he’s tellin’ white lies
To the angel by my side, who’s pointing out the signs.
And I’m too tired, maybe even blindered,
Like I’m strayin’ from the flock, and I cannot find my shepherd.
In times like these, when the past becomes the present,
You can light the match below it, but the memory never burns.
Scorched into my Ego, a hundred shames a’flamin’,
They’re hot enough to burn you, but not to light your smoke.
Y’see... The devil’s in my mind, he’s tellin’ white lies
To the angel by my side, who’s pointing out the signs.
And I’m too tired, maybe even blindered,
Like I’m strayin’ from the flock, and I cannot find my shepherd.
Oh hollow me, I will follow you. Hallelujah, Hallelu...
In this frenzied state, I’ll take my match up to the slate,
And blow the smoke upon these remnants.
Push the Ego ‘neath the Id for all the wrong I did,
You still have me and I have you, and we will soldier through.
Y’see... My devil enjoys the city’s white noise,
But the angel drowns it out, he quiets my mind.
And I’m too tired, and this city is a madhouse,
And I can’t see my shepherd, but he’s carryin’ the lantern.
Oh hollow me, I will follow you. Hallelujah, Hallelu...
All your fears aside, misrepresented by the cold.
And in my mind I made sense of it all, so just brace for the fall.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu.
