The beast (the head) :
Fly away quickly, fly far away
Listen closely to me as I say
You don't belong in this world
Hide in the dark corner curled
Pay attention, I tell you true
No one wants to deal with you
Run away lest the be made to pay
For caring at all on any day
Self pity and madness all are you
Push them away 'fore they suffer too
What? You won't? Is that what you say?
You'd risk their pain and not keep away?
You fool, so selfish and headstrong
Don't you see that you do them wrong?
The heart:
But hearts are not made to be alone
These are the best I have ever known
More than friends, family they are
How can I love them all from afar?
Before their pain I willingly bleed
Run away? Oh what a traitorous deed
As a rejection is how it will seem
Down my cheeks hot tears will teem
They've done naught to deserve such
Running away has got to be too much
To dare trade one hurt for the other
A devil's choice, oh dear, oh brother
Enough. Hush up you devilish beast
I'll hear no more before I am fleeced
The choice is not mine, never was it
It is theirs to choose, mine to submit
