To defend the head - the first lesson I ever learned The scarring of the mind stretched across hours Like novocaine's taste as it wears to reveal The only thing which tastes better as it sours A man torn in half and a beast which obsesses on giving out what is deserved The urge to defend and the lust to destroy - two masters which no man can serve Those whom fate would destroy it first makes mad With me forever, the beast which helped me survive Emerging like a parasite to defend its host Like a living nightmare walking with d**h on my side A man torn in half and a beast which obsesses on giving out what is deserved The urge to defend and the lust to destroy - two masters which no man can serve No man can serve two masters
