Chalk and Chains

Another way to make a mistake 
Another way to loose face again 
One more time to run and hide
One more way to live not die

This time ill let you in 
Let you go inside my mind
Two paths
Two avenues 
To Dr Jeckel  
Or Mr Hyde 
Waltz through the chalk and chains and the flesh of the great un-dead 
Toss a coin 
And leave right now 
And the venom will not be spread

Stuck in a corner with my hands on my head 
Praying things won’t be said 
Wish I could fly away now
Or to hide under my own bed
