Lyrics

I can feel it crawling from the inside
Creeping up and down my spine
It's twisting like a snake (Like a snake)
It's got its claws deep in my brain
And it's got its hooks
Underneath my skin, it's driving me insane
And I can't catch a break
I'm throwing gasoline (Hey) on a fire
Smoke rising, the flames are getting higher
I gotta stop feeding the monster
Or it'll eat me alive, feel like Jekyll and Hyde
It'll eat me alive, alive, alive
It'll eat me alive, alive, alive
It'll eat me alive
Gouge out my eyes and put 'em in a jar
So I can see myself and just how far
Things have gone
Take every thought into captivity (Captivity)
I do the things I would prefer not to
And I don't do the things that I know
That I ought to do
Flesh and spirit at war in me (War in me)
I'm throwing gasoline (Hey) on a fire
Smoke rising, the flames are getting higher
I gotta stop feeding the monster
Or it'll eat me alive, feel like Jekyll and Hyde
It'll eat me alive, alive, alive
It'll eat me alive, alive, alive
It'll eat me alive
I'm throwing gasoline (Hey) on a fire
Smoke rising, the flames are getting higher
I gotta stop feeding the monster
Or it'll eat me alive, feel like Jekyll and Hyde
It'll eat me alive, alive, alive
It'll eat me alive, alive, alive
It'll eat me alive
