You dodge bullets... I jump in front of them/
Russian roulette; if I don't lose, you don't win/
I've got the whole world under my skin/
And I'll go down swinging with a blade in my hand/

Blunted on reality/
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can skin you/
Snake Whacking Champion; no sympathy for the devils/
Dare you sample some of this stress in my life?/
The Scissorhands of DOOM cutting off my air supply/
Gloom on my face, man/
Fuelled by vibrations, feeling... evil again/

The monkey on my back is a guerrilla/
The Zoo has a "no returns" policy/
Constantly conflicted: resisting Godzilla/
Playing ping pong, piggybacking King Kong/
And honestly, he's getting on my nerves/

Words mean nothing; she won't wait forever/
I'm clutching one too many universes/
The time/space continuum is broken.../

I don't know what's real, living this fake life/
Where nothing beats us up more than the mundane/

Whatever, man/
Talking all that **** again/
Yeah, I know right... and I'm not even finished yet/

Forget peace, we want justice/
I don't just turn the other cheek; I return to seek vengeance/
Eye for an eye: you'll all be blind soon/
Tooth for a tooth: you'll all eat plates/
Fang in the oculus/
In the shade, in the stone garden of the octopus/
Out the box, thinking about how to get more oxygen/
Scar on my wrist to help remind me of my covenant to GOD/
I'm good for nothing!/

I cry only when it's inappropriate/
And I fight only to convert my opponents/
Bodies on my sword never share my thoughts/
When the corpse get heavy, cold shoulder the world/

And who's toxic?/
Give me a purity ring, I'll put my rot in it./
