[Verse]
Treacherous hold on me
With daggers for teeth

A pound of flesh for regret
Tied to a marionette
Limp around my neck
Who knows which way to go?

[Interlude]
Charcoal burnt sunrise
Sent by the river
To tell me lies

[Verse]
Cold shades of sanity
Are bleeding over

I broke apart the disguise
The demon lives in the eyes
And underneath your breath
A softly spoken death

[Chorus]
Hate that it tastes this way
Medicine gets so stale
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen?
I'm only me
[Bridge]
“This man is using his mind as a weapon…
…And woe betide the creature
Who steps into his garden”
Let's see if I can't get it on me
Let's see if I can't get him all over my hands!

[Verse]
“He's had another attack”
There's nothing bringing me back
Sailor says full mast
Following the sun

[Chorus]
Hate that it tastes this way
Medicine gets so stale
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen?
I'm only me

A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen?
A cut from a piece of mind
Then will you listen?

[Outro]
Where are you? Where are you?
Where are you?
