Hellbent lyrics by Janani K. Jha
Here’s the tale I’ve come to tell
Of two options when it comes to Hell:
Simmer in the ashes
Let the flames lick your thighs, or
Go through it and back and fall out the other side
Watch me fall from grace
Just to see if things will change
Life was full of only dead ends
Now I’m hellbent
Showtime, but I’m gettin’ stage fright
Wanna roll dice, but I’m scared of snake eyes
Now I’m tired of the late nights
Uninspired as a playwright
May I take five and fall by the wayside?
When things get predictable I just wanna scream
Watch me fall from grace (watch me fall from)
So things will change (just so things will change)
Life was full of only dead ends
Now I’m hellbent
Can’t stop me now
I’m already on the way down
Saw the edge and then I shook
Then I leapt before I looked, uh
Can’t stop me now
I’m already on the way down
Saw the edge and then I shook
Then I leapt before I looked, uh
Always work hard, and I always play safe
Fuck it, I jumped off, now listen to that heart rate
If I want it all to pay off
Must embrace a little chaos
I won’t play God, but maybe I’ll play Dante
When things get predictable I just wanna scream
Can’t stop me now (now)
I’m already on the way down
Saw the ledge and then I shook (I shook)
Then I leapt before I looked, uh (no)
Here’s the tale I’ve come to tell
Of two options when it comes to Hell:
Burn right into ashes
Let the flames take your fight, or
Go through it and back and fall out the other side
I’ll fall from grace
So things will change
Life was full of only dead ends
Now I’m hellbent
