[Verse 1] I don’t guess — I observe (don’t blink!) The devil’s in the data, and I don’t drink The city speaks in signs and stains Every cracked window, a whisper of pain (tap-tap, another clue drops) [Chorus] “When you eliminate the impossible,” (I hum through your lies, impossible...) “Whatever remains must be true,” (—even if improbable, even if it’s you...) I’m not a hero, I’m a habit of thought A mind like mine can't be taught [Verse 2] She said I was broken (so politely cruel) But genius and madness obey no rule Needle to neuron, I’ve walked that wire Now the sparks just fuel the fire (oh yes, the game’s always on...) [Bridge] “My methods are my own,” (she said, “so are your scars”) “The truth is never afraid,” (not in morgues or smoky bars) “Addiction is a side effect,” of knowing too much But I’ll feel for the world — if I can’t feel your touch [Final Chorus] “I see everything. I forget nothing.” (But I'd trade memory for meaning...) “You are not a puzzle. You are a person.” (That’s what Joan said, and she was certain...) No strings to pull, no mask to wear Just a violin and vacant stare [Outro] So if you find the pattern — follow the thread This mind lives loud, long after I’m dead (deduct me if you dare...)
