| Nights roll into days, and days roll into nights
My mind, it sometimes strays when I turn out the lights
A crazy purple haze slowly sparks and ignites
Midnight dreams ablaze as the lowly serpent bites...
As the church bells rang, a single fang tears my skin
The noise of the the poison brings a rush from within
The venom flows deep as I weep of what I've done
A black sheep sleeping becomes a wolf he can't outrun
Jekyll and Hyde, but I can't hide from me
I no longer want to be who I wanted to be
The serpent haunted me and hunted me and dragged me away
My heroin becomes my heroine as she gets me through the day
Morphine morphing into a seamless transition
of a room within a room within a room with a mortician
A tomb within a tomb, as I lay lifeless on a gurney
Born to cry, born to die, as I ride my final journey
Forgive me, everybody, for the hurt I put you through
Faces blend together of the names I never knew
/\_/\_/\___________
Flatlined, rewind...lost my heart and lost my mind
until I finally found the Light I was dying to find
