Jackal and Hyde Pride
Your passionate, unneeded pride...
Is hard to swallow, so I’m waiting for another tomorrow
Going along with the rowdy ride
Still feeling so low…but I must stay high, you know?
I want to glow bright and grow and not feel this hollow…
Break the mirror and fix the shards of my past, of my past
I need you to know that I love you so, not just for show
Flowing like a feather and blowing like a breeze, so fast
You’re full of pride these wild-child days
Oh, you’re pulling me slightly apart
I’m dealing with feelings in many ways
Your vibrant voice is my type of art
We share similar interests and I’m shocked, I must say
Leave behind the fretfulness and be close to me today
I want to get out of here and I want you back come what may
I fought with fervent fearlessness and I began to sway away…
I was born to go through the obstacles in life with my fists ardently in the air
I was born to go through the tribulations in strife and disappear the despair
I could’ve sworn you were with me in the rhythm of my heart, a sacred poem
I should’ve torn apart the darkness from the light from the start - a hidden gem
Taking flight without your gravity,
Weighing me down times infinity
Burning like flames aglow and churning like waves aflow
I told you to behave and be brave, yeah, I told you so…
It’s hard to tolerate your pride...I hate it though...
Can’t you see I’m just a fragile person?...I am not strong like you honestly
My brain has been truly fried...I tried to tell you so...
Due to the many uses of technology...well, at least I’m being honest, hon
Peel away the pain that’s whirling around my brain
‘Round and ‘round, we go down the disgusting drain
It’s about time I tell you to quit bringing me down
It’s about time I tell you to quit wearing your frown
There is a downfall after belittling pride...I can’t hide my unfailing failures and I cried
Do me a favor and be confident instead - what’s going on in your pitiful head?
Because I can’t keep up with your stride...your racing thoughts of Jackal and Hyde
Savor the moment of humble joy and discard inner dread, underlined in red
I have fallen short
I am your last resort
You aborted love in my heart
You hoarded hate from the start
You abhorred the happiness I had
You sowed discord and made me sad
I forlorned, but you just simply ignored me
I am scorned by your envious blasphemy
Your awful vanity scars me from within
You’re unhappy in your decaying skin
Your Jackal and Hyde pride
Made me succumb to perilous death tonight
My brain is fried and I tried
To tell you I forgive you with all of my might
Yeah, I tried my hardest to even swallow
Your pride of sorrow, in which you wallow
I am very discomforted
My voice is distorted
I mustn’t give up so easily
I won’t let you discourage me
I shouldn’t lie to myself right now
I should tell the truth of who I am somehow…
I am stronger than I realize,
I am not alone
And I am not a failure…
I am weaker in your eyes
You are on your own
And you are supposedly unattainably successful
With false hope and error, beyond unsustainable
I don’t have to prove it to you that I am so content
I don’t have to stay up all night to give you attention
I don’t have to tell you how I feel as of the present
I don’t have to give up my good times’ intervention
I can live life cheerfully without your Jackal and Hyde pride
Don’t want to live a lie and blindly be on your dangerous ride
I just want you to know that I sincerely care for you and want the best for you still,
Regardless of the fact that you act like a pill…
You still fill me up with such extraterrestrial thrill
We should be Jack and Jill on our own little hill, killing each other with kindness
Instead of your Jackal and Hyde pride, concealing the view of you and I’s happiness
