EP: Gallows Writings
Story: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Occasion: Halloween!

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Man is not truly one, but truly two…
Breathe in the cure...
choke on the sin,
Mirror smiles...
let the dose begin.

⸻

[Verse 1]
White coat, black intent,
Writing sermons in experiment.
Morals measured, conscience weighed,
Faith reduced to a chemical shade.

I bottled mercy, labeled ME,
Prescribed the devil pharmaceutically.
My virtue sleeps while hunger wakes,
One sip, and every mask breaks.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
If holiness is half a dose,
Then sanity’s what hurts the most.

⸻

[Chorus]
I’m my own worst side effect,
A saint dissected by neglect.
Pulse divided, soul collision,
Heaven lost to split decision.
Doctor’s orders: sin or save,
Pick your poison, dig your grave.
Virtue’s gone and vice has vision,
Welcome home to split decision.

⸻

[Verse 2]
I walk the streets your prayers ignore,
Barefoot god on a liquor store floor.
Every rule you wrote for show,
I burn for warmth, you call it low.

You made me, caged me, called me crime,
I’m just your truth without the rhyme.
You speak of God; I speak in screams,
Same mouth, different dreams.

⸻

[Bridge]
I can fix this—one more test!
You’ll die before you rest!
I made you weak!
You made me real!
We are the wound that never heals!

⸻

[Final Chorus]
I’m my own worst side effect,
Faith injected, truth suspect.
Pulse divided, pure derision,
Heaven lost to split decision.
Every saint becomes a thief,
When godhood tastes like brief relief.
Dose me once, call it contrition,
Let me drown in split decision.

⸻

[Outro]
“The experiment succeeded; the subject did not survive.”
