I tear apart the pages of the story of my life In black and white the wrong and right will struggle to survive And I've been falling apart in the pouring rain I'm waging war on myself; a captive casualty Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain But now I curse what's in my head Because I can't stop seein' red Did you really think I would falter my friend? I've destroyed you before, I'll destroy you again I'm the hell that is your future I'll incinerate your past I'm the devil on your shoulder But I'll always be your better half We might share one body But this spine is f**ing mine By now you should know You're just a spectator, I'm the show Is this the end of me? 'Cause I've been falling apart in the pouring rain I'm waging war on myself; a captive casualty Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain But now I curse what's in my head Because I can't stop seein' red Did you really think you could Hyde from me, doctor? Have you not seen the legacy I've carved into the flesh of this city?
Even Van Gogh would call it a bloody good impression An artist of infection and your just another piece in my collection A mirror image of perfection (Perfection) Who's time has f**ing come 'Cause I've been falling apart in the pouring rain I'm waging war on myself; a captive casualty Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain But now I curse what's in my head Because I can't stop seein' red Friends and fellow countrymen, lend me your ears The following revelation's for you skeptics to hear There exists no good, only unrealized evil I'll bring hope to the sinners and d**h to the people I tear apart the pages of the story of my life 'Cause I've been falling apart in the pouring rain I'm waging war on myself; a captive casualty Traded a merciful heart for a murderer's brain But now I curse what's in my head Because I can't stop seein' red I'm seein' red The doctor is dead, I bid thee farewell f** my fate, just save a seat for me in hell
