Michael and Joseph were one in the same
Two different people who shared the same brain
Joseph was born because Michael was weak
With one in control the other would sleep

Fractured by rape and years in a cage

We won't let him out until he's a man"
His parents were told, "We'll break him you'll see
He'll want to be dead. He'll beg to be free"

He asked for no help. He...
