Brutus:
Your insecurity obliges you to listen to me.
The things that you see;
I see them too but differently.
My thoughts are maligned;
Innately ominously inclined;
I’m programmed to blind with negativity I never fail to find.

Stu:
But what if I just want to cast you aside?

Brutus:
Don’t make me laugh,
You can’t do that,
Cause I’m ingrained in your mind.
Personifying me just isn’t gonna alter the truth;
No, you’re compelled into listening,
For the simple reason that “I” am you.

Stu:
You’ve been an ally but you’re out of control.
You’re digging a hole,
And I’m the one that’s gotta climb out and atone.
‘Cause see I carry you wherever I go,
You’ve never walked on your own.
I have to shoulder your baggage alone.

Brutus:
That’s just the way that the relationship works;
I picture the worst;
Then whisper to you all of my irks;
The danger that lurks;
The things that’ll hurt;
Until you’re left with the feeling you’d be better if you were under the dirt.

Stu:
Why can’t we bury the hatchet and just reconcile?

Brutus:
‘Cause you want alkaline and I’m an acidophile.

Stu:
Can’t you just let me take the reins every once in a wh…

Brutus:
Gimme a break, and just consider what I bring to the pile.
You’d lead us, blindly and willing, into trouble or worse,
You’d fall to pieces and I’d have to interject and repair,
All the emotional damage I could have easily swerved.

Stu:
But what could possibly happen?

Brutus:
Well, you just sit and observe:
Look at your woman.

Stu:
Yeah I see her.

Brutus:
Ain’t she simply divine?

Stu:
She’s my single greatest influence; I’m lucky she’s mine.

Brutus:
But can’t you see the look of boredom that she’s got in her eye?
There’s every chance that your connection’s in rapid decline.

Stu:
No…

Brutus:
What if the feelings that she had for you are starting to die?

Stu:
Don’t want to believe it.

Brutus:
But you admit that it’s hard to deny?

Stu:
Just tell me how to end this fucking wretched communique.

Brutus:
Cause a fight; the best defence is simply her away.
My name is Brutus I’m the pit in the stomach that you can never fill.
I am what you were denied; I am your bitter pill.
You’re gonna swallow cause the taste of me is making you ill.
You’ll get addicted cause I’ll numb all your feelings to nil…

Stu:
My name is Stuart, I’m the voice in the vessel that you can never kill.
I am what you’ll be supplied with if you start to fill;
With Love instead of the venom that Brutus finds until.
You swallow on your pill; he’s right it makes you ill.
Your insecurity obliges you to listen to thee.
The things you see, I see them true so you must listen to me.
He’ll tell you everyone is climbing in his tree.

Brutus:
He’s talking shit again, can’t…

Stu:
Shut the fuck up, he’s talking to me.
You need to know that I am you and he’s a devil seed.

Brutus:
Don’t fucking tell him that!

Stu:
Why, cause he’ll start to see?
You need to know for once that you’re the only one that you need.
Everything else is greed; a selfish fucking bleed.
You’re not that kind of breed; don’t grow that kind of seed.
Cause you’re the only one that attitude will fucking impede.
It’s time to take a stand; to gain the upper hand.
To know the only thing you need to do is start to withstand;
His little tantrums, and his little withered, waivering hands;
That try to guide you with fear of everything in the land.

Brutus:
So much could possibly hurt us; we need this glowing brand.

Stu:
No you just listen and fucking understand.
Look at your woman.

Brutus:
Don’t let him see her...

Stu:
Ain’t she simply divine?
She loves the bones of you, kid, and your connection’s fine.
Yeah, there’s damage but you only ever toed to the line.

Brutus:
You’d better stop it now, this fucking vessel is mine!

Stu:
It was just me and him before we ever came to a trine.
And now I’m taking him back, I’m showing him a sign.
Follow the Bluebells kid, they’ll take you back to a time.
You had the love you’ve been so desperately trying to find.

Brutus:
No, no…. RRRRAAAWR!

Stu:
Oh yes. Fuck you, Brutus…
