Focus my eyes, I'll get in your mind, Sleepy now I'll do no harm in any kind Truth can ease it, what you can't deny, Everyone is hiding something deep inside. Try to be wide open, I will promise, that you'll see New relief will free your fantasy One by one we'll make it All your fears will come to me, New relief will free your fantasy. X-ray You will lose the anguish in your life X-ray Happiness is all that stays inside X-ray No one knows the difference till he tries X-ray Everything depends on you alone, I'll strip you to your bones. Also happy, I'm a gentle guy I will keep it all and no one will look behind. Useful somehow, in a different way As I took it, I might give it back some day. That's no strange behavior, There's a coercion in my being Your relief rakes my insanity. Hyde is Jekyll's pleasure, There's the coercion in my being Your relief rakes my insanity.
