Defensive Personalities

(Lyrics: C.Schuldiner; Music: C.Schuldiner/T.Butler)

One mind divided into three, for every problem a personality
Each one trying to protect, for the crisis a person they'll select
With sorrow comes reassurance, with confusion there's ignorance
Deny who they are, a fantasy gone too far

Protecting the weak points of the mind
Defensive personalities
Violent one minute
Defensive personalities

Solo : Shuldiner, Murphy

Passes down from generations, years of pain and complications
Darkness was a punishment, memories time cannot mend
Brutalized from the day of birth, to reality they can't return
Existing in world of three lives inside of one

(Repeat 2nd verse)
