They say I am manic, depressive and sick It’s all in my mind, my head playing tricks; My thoughts are scrambled and make no sense My mind is exhausted, my body turns tense; She tries to convince me that I must obey For her evil doings will show me the way; Her name is Pandora and we are one the same I once embraced her, played along in her game; I feel the demons beginning to creep Another long night without any sleep; My chest is heavy and wants to explode I don’t know how long I can carry this load; I try to avoid her, block her out of my mind She enters again, so cruel and unkind; Her name is Pandora and we are one the same I followed her guidance and caused lots of pain; Wishing for happiness and wishing I were dead A period of time passes while I’m in my own head; Another episode has once again been survived A chance to overcome, a life has been revived; Her presence begins to fade and again I’m at peace A feeling of comfort, an enormous release; Her name is Pandora and we are one the same Until the next episode, my own life I regain; I force her back into her box of lies and deceit She will not take me, I will not give up the feat; Pandora, I promise that you shall not prevail I will spend eternity among angels while you’re rotting in hell!... |
