Malignant Maelstrom

I looked the Evil in the eye, twice in a row
Dr. Jeckyll and Mrs. Hide

She the villain, she the dove, monopolizing the show
Have you come here to give love, or to strike the last blow

Are you beginning to fade away, are you starting to grow apart
Are you planning to play pinball with my heart

Just when I thought it's going to last, and I's sure that I touched grace
I get a full-blast spit in my face

And then the feelings are all stirred up, and I swim in some sort of flow
Sometimes high but mostly low

And then you gather all your thoughts, and you say you wanna leave
But where can you go, and who will receive

Me, the sorry loser, me, so filled with shame
Me, who carries sucker as a middle-name

Are you sure, or do you hesitate? Is it worship or is it hate
Deconstruct, destroy & recreate?

You're a hero or a phoney, you're a genius or a one-trick pony
You're so healthy & so insane

You're a smooth operating scorpion, with a heart that stings,
Disguised as a singing angel, minus the wings

I'm the maverick, I'm your saviour, I'm the prick, I'm your failure
Build me up now, crush me later

Look at me, the conflicted old fool, who majored in pain
Oh, for Christ's sake, to be young again

Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
Are you the venom or the cure

Some say the heart needs healing, I say it's all in the brain
And when there's a lack of feeling, there'll be a total lack of pain
