Your Better Half

(альбом: JT XX - 2022)

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

Lights off, anybody home?
Through the window saw you in there
Hear me knocking 'cause I'm awful cold
The long road, got me winded
I don't wanna walk it all alone
I'm from another part of town, 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
Hope you're good to keep a secret
I can show you worlds without the boundaries
When you're broken, I'm molding 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 pretending that you're not already bad

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 carrying me
When I buried the monster, all I buried was me

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

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 making 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
But I'm afraid I've let him in

Praytell what else you plan to take from me?
How much more do I have to lose? (I'm taking everything)
I guess not every blessing's meant to be
A gift I get to choose

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

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

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
