A Piece of Mind

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? Charcoal burnt sunrise Sent by the river To tell me lies 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 “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 “He's had another attack”, there's nothing bringing me back, sailor says full mast Following the sun [Chorus] A cut from a piece of mind Then will you listen? A cut from a piece of mind Then will you listen? Where are you? Where are you? (Where are you?)
