Shuttered windows hide the world, shattered life without the girl
Turn for help, right by my side, time to drown the tears
A week's supply of cigarettes, a hoard of amber lies in wait
Break the seal to happiness, one more for the road

Just some help to ease the pain
A temporary hideaway from madness
Sweet illusions to drive away the bitter truth
Heaven and hell, in my mind
Befriending my alter ego

Carefree days of innocence, noble vows and true intent
All erased with one mistake, damn that one night stand
Life without me, having fun, childish wishes proven wrong
Can't control your destiny, can't turn back the clock

Just some help to ease the pain
A temporary hideaway from madness
A strange illusion to balance out the facts of life
Heaven and hell, in my mind
Befriending my alter ego

Horror days are here to stay, can't look back to Sunday
The cause of my insanity, is lying at your door
Horror days are here to stay, can't look back to Sunday
Too much cold reality, time for just one more

Dawning thoughts spark off the tears, new horizons nearing
Just in time to take the chance, instead of rope and chair
Drops the mask, returns to wings, deep regrets come haunting
Sober times for sober mind, seems so long ago

Just some help to ease the pain
A temporary hideaway from madness
A grand illusion to soften all the petty lies
Heaven and hell, in my mind
Befriending my alter ego

Alter ego, alter ego
Heaven and hell in my mind, befriending my alter ego
Alter ego, alter ego
Heaven and hell in my mind, befriending my alter ego
