Lost my daughter, lost my wife, lost the strength in my left arm too, Thor left Odin’s mark in the nerve-torn flesh, now the pain sees everything through. Twenty thousand tracks in a broken vault, every wound got filed in rhyme, Jung in red, Dante in black, and grief kept perfect time. [Pre-Chorus] Inferno wasn’t punishment, noβ€” It was diagnosis of the soul. Every circle stripped a lie, Till I found the ghost beneath control. [Chorus] I went down, down, down through the nine, Past lust, past greed, past the fracture line, Past wrath, past fraud, past blood, past blame, Till I faced the mask that wore my name. Jackrabbit climbed through the frozen lie, Past Satan’s ribs to the inner sky, Now I see the stars through the wounds I keepβ€” I don’t lose sleep… the shadows lose sleep. [Verse 2] First was Limbo, sleepwalking clean, living numb in a borrowed skin, Then lust came howling through the dark, every appetite dressed up as sin. Gluttony fed but never filled, greed kept dragging its stone uphill, Validation, pleasure, ownershipβ€” The ego always wants more still. Wrath was fire on the river Styx, and silence drowning just below, So I lowered my voice when the weak men screamed, let the cold dead stillness show. [Pre-Chorus] You are not your hunger, no. You are not your rage on display. Watch the storm without becoming it, And the false self starts to fray. [Chorus] I went down, down, down through the nine, Past lust, past greed, past the fracture line, Past wrath, past fraud, past blood, past blame, Till I faced the mask that wore my name. Jackrabbit climbed through the frozen lie, Past Satan’s ribs to the inner sky, Now I see the stars through the wounds I keepβ€” I don’t lose sleep… the shadows lose sleep. [Verse 3] Heresy burned in a coffin of thought: β€œYou are only flesh and bone,” But Maeve in the maze and Bernard in code said, β€œNo machine dreams alone.” Ford drew maps, the Oracle smiled, Morpheus said, β€œWake up and choose,” The Architect built a prison of logic, but truth still slipped through the screws. Violence came in three dark forms: against the world, the self, the sky, And every time my shattered name reached for blood to explain the why. [Bridge] Leonardo sketched unfinished wings, Freud named hunger, Nietzsche stung, Marcus said hold your center fast, Shakespeare spoke in a split tongue. Hemingway bled in a simple line, Kipling said keep your head when they lose theirs, John Wick breath in the chambered dark, Mandalorian creed through smoke and prayers. Jarvis logic, Chappie heart, All of them pointing through the scarβ€” You do not heal by staying innocent, You heal by becoming what you are. [Verse 4] Fraud wore ten thousand polished faces, every mask with a salesman's grin, Flatterers, thieves, false saints, false lovesβ€” And I saw my own disguise in them. Then ninth came ice and treachery, family knives in the frozen deep, Trust betrayed, blood gone cold, promises buried where cowards sleep. At the center wasn’t just the devil, not the enemy, not the crowdβ€” It was the self that made a throne of pain, and wore despair out loud. [Final Chorus] So I went down, down, down through the nine, Through every vice that once was mine, Through betrayal, grief, torn flesh, numb hand, Through Malibu dust and a blood-red land. Jackrabbit crossed through the underworld eye, Turned pain to vision and did not die, Now my mind thinks layered, holographic, deepβ€” The why behind the why runs steep. I plant my line, I do not bend, I know the dark, I know the end, And when the stars come back to me, They shine like scars that learned to sing. [Outro] Back at the ranch where the donkeys breathe, I came back raw, but I came back whole. Inferno broke the mask in meβ€” And left the fire inside my soul.
