Song

(Leo sings the higher notes and takes the spotlight, as if wanting to rise to the top. The Guilty sings lower chords, as if wanting to lay low and avoid attention. You guys get the symbolism. Ambition and doing good VS apathy and doing nothing at all.)

The Guilty: You're just some failure.
You're still not published.
You're not gonna,
Amount to shit.

You pretend to be,
Some sort of hero.
Tell me then Leo,
Why is your friend count zero?

What you are I'll explain.
You're nothing but a mentally broken ass.
And you think that you'll,
Amount to something.

Everyone you see,
Is your so called "enemy."

Leo: You think you're smart,
And you think you're so clever.

You're my inner demons!
But I'll keep it together.
I will not fall for your paranoid lies.
Humans are good and improving with time!

You are jealous of the good I have done.
Two child abusers stopped!
Because I did what,
Had to be done!

I have nightmares about it though,
And I won't deny my illness.
But with a therapist,
I'll erase you from existence!

The Guilty: Oh really Leo?
Cause your last therapist.
Betrayed you and,
The ones you loved up and dipped.

Let's take a quick look,
At your birth certificate.
Oh would you look here!
Doesn't say "Leo Benedict"!

The name you've taken,
Isn't the one given.
Do you really think,
You will live up to the man you're trying to become?

Both: You are not!
The real me!
The real me,
Is standing right here!

Typing these out!
These lyrics right here!
And is getting tired,
Of your shit!

Leo: I will push through,
Whatever is thrown at me.
You just fold over!
And let life fuck you without trying!

I am going to be a writer who helps people!
What would you accomplish,
How would you make,
Others smile?

The Guilty: You still don't understand shit!
I do not give a damn.
Why should I help other people?
When they've done nothing but kick me when I'm down?

Leo: That's bullshit!
That's slander!
You miss humanity's,
Natrual progression!

Both: You're only!
A failure!
And I'm going to prove you wrong!
As I do what has to be done!

A mad man!
Lunatic!

Leo: Who believes in blood lies!

The Guilty: Good luck severing blood ties!

Leo: I don't imagine,
I'll be more than a c list name!
And even then I'll have to,
Work hard!

But I'll do,
What I can!
To bring joy through my books!
And the name Leo Stanley Benedict will be my only name at all!
