Dr. Hyde Lyrics

"Good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul."

If he be Mr. Hyde I shall be Mr. Seek

But I seek only the good in the monster but those things linger deep

For too long I've kept the ego in a cage

But the damage my doubts did was basically the same

Confounded questioning my flaws- with doubting my virtues

Pushed away people that loved me and said: I'm scared I'll hurt you

Shook hands with lotta folks I'd rather wage war on

Contradictory idiot, oxymoron

Stopped living life- and let it live me

Exposed my heavy doubts proudly thought they'd lift me

Huh - shit, they didn't

I was cooking the right meal but in the wrong kitchen

When all you got for spice is insecurity and fear

Don't be surprised when your clientele is all bitching

Sometimes the right decision is to be mistaken

Sometimes a trumpet sounds better muted

Sometimes memories that maim you make more sense at a later viewing

Learned that I can't hate myself for shit I don't do

Can't be who you wanna be letting your fears taunt you

Feared that all my pride would falter if I let the fear grow

Tears show feared that my ego'd outgrow me

So I was scared to let the fear go

Me telling myself that I'm the goat to alleviate my stressing

Is my go to method to express that all I go through

Is part of my goal to uncover the whole truth

In hope to keep my people from saying I'm only fucking with the old you

Wish I could look at myself yesterday and say that I've changed a lot

Hard to navigate this new sense of liberty when I relied on chains a lot

But I refuse to lose and have that be the main force behind my will to continue

Learned you have to master both the doubts and the ego

That you wielding within you

Two faces of the same coin wonder what that thing can buy me

Hard to estimate my worth it's blurry when I think about me

Give it all to the music but will there be change left

Walk the long run but will there be range left

Transplant my pride man had a change of heart

Stomached my fears got the guts to let them part

Need no more potion to alter my ego

Being me doesn't always mean confidence, but I'm confident in being me tho

With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual

I drew steadily nearer to the truth

By whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck

That man is not truly one, but truly two
