Your Better Half
[Intro]
Thought I was one of a kind, but I'm nothing special
What's under the pantomime? A puppet, a vessel?
I dreamt once upon a time, my body, a temple
'Til it was gutted to become a dollhouse for the devil
[Verse 1]
Lights off, anybody home? (Anybody home?)
Through the window, saw you in there (Saw you in there)
Hear me knockin' 'cause I'm awful cold (I'm awful cold)
The long road got me winded (Winded)
I don't wanna walk it all alone
I'm from another part of town, but we're kindred (But we're kindred)
Trust me, if you shut me out and lock the door
The big, bad wolf will blow it off the hinges
Don't tell anyone about me ('Bout me)
Hope you're good to keep a secret
I can show you worlds without the boundaries (Boundaries)
When you're broken, I'm moldin' all the pieces
Lost your better half, want to get it back?
I'm the better half you thought you never had
Drop whatever plans your conscience ever had
Stop pretendin' that you're not already bad
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I don't wanna scare you anymore (I know you're gonna)
Maybe I don't wanna wear this anymore (Looks so good on you)
My burden is carryin' me
When I buried the monster, all I buried was me
[Chorus]
Let me in, I wanna crawl under your skin
Let me in, I have unwound the web within
Let me in, what good will solitude do you?
Who has your back?
It's time to introduce you to your better half
[Verse 2]
Better to trust the devil you know (Than the devil you don't)
As if I had any choices (Just listen to my voice)
'Cause I've been makin' a hell of my own (And I welcome you home)
Now it's time to pick my poison
My blood is thick with Venom, got your fangs under my skin
But only 'cause I let 'em, plenty web we've left to spin
A part of me has love for Carnage
Consciously, I never want it (Never want it)
But I'm afraid I've let 'em in
[Pre-Chorus]
Praytell what else you plan to take from me? (From me)
How much more do I have to lose? (I'm takin' everything)
I guess not every blessing's meant to be (To be)
A gift I get to choose
[Chorus]
Let me in, I wanna crawl under your skin
Let me in, I have unwound the web within
Let me in, what good will solitude do you?
Who has your back?
It's time to introduce you to your better half
[Bridge]
We've become one of a kind, no one's on our level
Perfected our pantomime, my puppet, your vessel
No sacred places to hide, we burned all the temples
And from the ashes, we can build a dollhouse for the devil
[Chorus]
Let me in, I wanna crawl under your skin
Let me in, I have unwound the web within
Let me in, what good will solitude do you?
Who has your back?
It's time to introduce you to your better half
