Devils on Both Sides

In Your Shadow (Skinner) I’m biting my tongue again, always ignored Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise Settled for second best, no reward And I wasn’t one to steal the spotlight I want what is mine Here’s where I draw the line Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow Always right by your side, never was fair How you kept me out of the picture I missed my chance to shine, not that you care I’ve proven I’m the better actor now I want what is mine Here’s where I draw the line Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow I wanted to be heard I wanted to be I wanted to be seen But I, was in your shadow I’m barely clinging to My last thread of sanity This I swear to you No longer will you silence me Standing on the sidelines Knowing all along the glory should be mine One chance to outshine And now it seems I’m running out of time As envy turns to violence One last attempt to gain what should be mine Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow -End-

Dealing with powers beyond my control Little by little my dignity is stripped away I'm now feeling the backlash I caused so long ago I know I had it coming but Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned By now you know I've been hexed Paying for my lying Always denying After all the fighting I left you crying all alone By now you know I've been hexed I'm in desperate need of a lucky charm, in desperate need Psycho ex-girlfriend on the loose With a hobby in the art of witchery, yes indeed By now you know I've been hexed Paying for my lying Always denying After all the fighting I left you crying all alone Somebody teil me Somebody teil me why I've been hexed Paying for my lying Always denying After all the fighting I left you crying all alone By now you know I've been hexed Hexed

Evil’s Rising (Skinner) Just beneath the surface in every man lies a beast A sleeping demon stirred quite easily knows no peace Out of the blue the clarity fades away The animal starts to wake Every resemblance of a man is torn away Say the wrong thing, press my buttons and we’re on our way The rage is growing A primal instinct Can’t stop my hands shaking Evil’s rising With a scream so fierce all I know is I see red A shadow of my former self overflowing with hatred Out of the blue the clarity fades away The animal starts to wake Every resemblance of a man is torn away Say the wrong thing, press my buttons and we’re on our way The rage is growing A primal instinct Can’t stop my hands shaking Evil’s rising I can see the fear taking hold of you No longer the person you once knew A restless presence once thought dormant is now unleashed The horrible thought that I may go too far is guaranteed Out of the blue the clarity fades away The animal starts to wake Every resemblance of a man is torn away Say the wrong thing, press my buttons and we’re on our way The rage is growing A primal instinct Can’t stop my hands shaking Evil’s rising The rage is growing A primal instinct Can’t stop my hands shaking Evil’s rising I can see the fear taking hold of you No longer the person you once knew -End-

Devils on Both Sides (Skinner) Don’t hate me Instead step back and see Or try looking Through my eyes No halos, no wings to fly A faded rainbow lost in time Just another shining example Of what not to say I don’t understand quite what happened I never planned it out this way I’m not a sinner, just my conscience, doesn’t seem to serve me well My temper, and my violence; really what is there to tell? Don’t hate me, you’re in for one hell of a ride, don’t hate me God save me, I’ve got devils on both sides, God save me Don’t hate me, you’re in for one hell of a ride, don’t hate me Got devils on both sides I’m not one for conversation In fact I hate about everyone A product of my own frustration Just look at what I’ve become I’m not a sinner, just my conscience, doesn’t seem to serve me well My temper, and my violence; really what is there to tell? No control I’m not a sinner, just my conscience, doesn’t seem to serve me well My temper, and my violence; really what is there to tell? Don’t hate me, you’re in for one hell of a ride, don’t hate me God save me, I’ve got devils on both sides, God save me Don’t hate me, you’re in for one hell of a ride, don’t hate me God save me, I’ve got devils on both sides, God save me Devil’s on both sides -End-

In the dead of night beneath pale moonlight In a field filled with fear and wonder Lies a troubled place where souls are displaced And the air is so cold and somber Each night they rise again to fight once more Ghastly soldiers of the civil war Sounds of crashing steel earthly battlefield Behold a scene that will make you shudder Lost in between Why can't they see their war is over? Hard to believe If they don't bleed how do they really know? Each night they rise again to fight once more Ghastly soldiers of the civil war Just before dawn breaks comes the final wave The last battalion's vain endeavor Lost in between Why can't they see their war is over? Hard to believe If they don't bleed how do they really know? Each night they rise again to fight once more Ghastly soldiers of the civil war One by one they fade back beyond the grave Shrieking screams that will make you shiver Lost in between Why can't they see their war is over? Hard to believe If they don't bleed how do they really know? How do they really know?

Back to the beginning to find what's been missing Years of compromising have given my life no meaning I question everything faith doesn't come that easy It seems I'm complete yet I still long for something more And I can't understand why No matter how hard I try The lies, they're haunting me Why, can't I see? I can't breathe They're killing me Lies, they' re haunting me Why, can't I see? I can't breathe They're killing me When all ties are broken Last words spoken When all seems hopeless why can't we just go? Back to the beginning to find what's been missing My world is still spinning can't put my mind at ease The voice in my head is screaming there's something you're forgetting It seems I've everything yet I still long for something more And I can't understand why No matter how hard I try The Lies, they're haunting me Why, can't I see? I can't breathe They're killing me Lies, they're haunting me Why, can't I see? I can't breathe They're killing me When all ties are broken Last words spoken When all seems hopeless why can't we just go? Now I remember why... An incomplete feeling, nagging me from inside I was never one to just let things go An unresolved conflict that's stood the test of time An unfinished story never told All the heartaches And the mistakes Are reoccurring Something' s stirring A hasty decision, forgiveness is divine I always knew I needed something more A familiar fragrance from once upon a time A slew of memories I'd never wished for All the heartaches And the mistakes Are reoccurring Something' s stirring Back to the beginning to find what's been missing I've been unforgiving my pride is my undoing I've taken so completely offered hands that were empty It seems I need nothing yet I still long for something more And I can't understand why No matter how hard I try The Lies, they're haunting me Why, can't I see? I can't breathe They're killing me Lies, they're haunting me Why, can't I see? I can't breathe They're killing me When all ties are broken Last words spoken When all seems hopeless why can't we just go back? When all ties are broken Last words spoken When all seems hopeless why can't we just go? Why?

Voice of Prejudice (Skinner) Your perceptions of me are misguided Well I think it was time you were enlightened Try looking again with an open mind You’ll find I’m so much more You say you’ve already stated your opinion The voice of prejudice wins in the end No, I, will not listen, your opinion, one sided, close-minded, a predetermined lie Why can’t you believe a different point of view? Or should I be biased just like you Try looking again with an open mind You’ll find I’m so much more You say you’ve already stated your opinion The voice of prejudice wins in the end Now I’m, laughing at your ignorance, now I’m… Now I’m, moving past intolerance No, I, will not listen, your opinion, one sided, close-minded, a predetermined lie Why can’t you come to terms with the truth? I am the same if not better than you Try looking again with an open mind You’ll find I’m so much more You say you’ve already stated your opinion The voice of prejudice wins in the end Mindset firm on your preconceived flawed decision The voice of prejudice wins in the end Once again, prejudice wins -End-

A born lair, a nymphomaniac and man-hater With a tongue made of pure evil You found a way to twist the truth And I was led astray by desire Jet-black hair, blood red lips and seductive stare With hallow words you fed my ego As I slipped into your noose With each smile your grip grew tighter Coated eyes, with portraits you've been painting Textured liews, Images forever tainted, forever jaded Well disguised, were your true intentions Your designs, were spiteful and malicious, simply vicious Dark whispers flood my mind, entranced, so it begins Bewildered by her charms, I find I'm spellbound again Dark whispers flood my mind, entranced, so it begins Bewildered by her charms, I find I'm spellbound again So beautiful, the tempation's beyond my control First she loves then she hates me Gets her kicks from being cruel Still I'm drawn to her fire Yes she drives me crazy And I've only myself to save me

Begging me, to offer an excuse to stay I should speak for some reason I won't Dead-eye stare, is all you'll ever get out of me I should care, but somehow I don't, no I don't I know my last chance is wasted So why the hell won't you leave? I'm tired of playing games going or staying the house always wins Everytime I'm your pawn just stringing me along and it's your move again But this time the cards are in my hands And I'm not buying in to let you trick me again I know my last chance is wasted So why the hell won't you leave? I've so much to say yet no words are forming at this time Why is it so hard telling you goodbye Dead-eye stare, your falling tears have no effect on me I should care, no not this time I'm tired of playing games going or staying the house always wins Everytime I'm your pawn just stringing me along and it's your move again But this time the cards are in my hands And I'm not buying in to let you trick me again I know my last chance is wasted So why the hell won't you leave? There it is, all my cards are layed out on the table I called your bluff and now it's time to go Dead-eye stare, a shocked look I see in your eyes You'd never have guessed well now you know Now you know The harder you try, the less I sympathize; and I've heard it all before You're giving that look, that worked once so well, but you face just leaves me cold I know my last chance is wasted So why the hell won't you leave? One more chance, for me to change mymind you're waiting On second thought I think I might Dead-eye stare, I'll get through this if I keep my mouth shut I should care, no not tonight Dead-eye stare, waiting for me to change my mind Dead-eye stare, no not this time I know my last chance is wasted Why the hell won't you leave?

Can you feel it? So cold... From what I've heard it's served better that way I like to think of myself as divine, a kind of reaper A modern day hero of sorts, sent from above to deliver the word Unto you I bestow, the greatest gift that'll your soul From the light you have strayed, well back you go, let me show you the way Swift justice is served And so well deserved All your sins, I'll erase, and there will be no more pain From inside you've sensed my coming That awful feeling over your shoulder I've got a personal message from the deceased, non-believer A handful of promises to fulfill and the mentality to kill at will I'll make it as quick as I can, that's how dedicated I am WIlling to take the extra step on behalf of the mourning, widowed and bereft Swift justice is served And so well deserved All your sins, I'll erase, and there will be no more pain From inside you've sensed my coming That awful feeling over your shoulder Through my eyes the view is sickening Come face to face with a vigilante You won't know me But you will see The light And I will lead you away Swift justice is served And so well deserved All your sins, I'll erase, and there will be no more pain From inside you've sensed my coming That awful feeling over your shoulder Through my eyes the view is sickening Come face to face with a vigilante Soon you will face the vigilante
