[Intro - whispered, cold, raspy] I saw myself... I saw myself today... [Verse 1 - low, slow, unsettling] There's a man who wears my face and walks around my town He's got my voice, my scars, my walk, but he don't make a sound He took my job, he took my friends, he took the bed I sleep And when I tried to warn them all, they said I was the creep I don't know when he came, I don't know where he's from But I know he's in my house and I know he's got my mom I look into the mirror and I see him looking back And I don't know which one of us is real and which is black [Chorus - shouted, harsh, paranoid] THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY PLACE! HE'S WEARING MY BODY AND HE'S WEARING MY FACE! THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY HEAD! HE'S TAKING EVERYTHING I EVER SAID! THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY BLOOD! HE'S THE ONLY ONE THEY SEE WHEN I'M IN THE MUD! THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY SOUL! HE'S THE ONE THEY LOVE AND I'M THE HOLE! [Verse 2 - faster, aggressive, raspy] I tried to scream his name, I tried to prove he's fake But every time I do it, I'm the one they take I'm the one they lock away, I'm the one they fear And he's the one who's laughing while he's standing near He copies all my moves but he does them better He's the one who's free and I'm the one in fetters I don't want a doctor, I don't want a priest I just want to know which one of us is the beast [Chorus] THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY PLACE! HE'S WEARING MY BODY AND HE'S WEARING MY FACE! THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY HEAD! HE'S TAKING EVERYTHING I EVER SAID! THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY BLOOD! HE'S THE ONLY ONE THEY SEE WHEN I'M IN THE MUD! THE DOUBLE! THE DOUBLE! HE'S IN MY SOUL! HE'S THE ONE THEY LOVE AND I'M THE HOLE! [Bridge - slow, heavy, spoken with reverb] I am the shadow... He is the light... And the world... chose... him... [Verse 3 - screaming, chaotic] I AM THE ONE THAT THEY FORGOT IN THE CELL! I AM THE ONE THAT THEY LEFT DOWN IN HELL! EVERY TIME THEY SAY HIS NAME THEY'RE ERASING MINE! EVERY TIME THEY SEE HIS FACE THEY'RE DELETING TIME! KILL! KILL! KILL THE ONE WHO WEARS MY SKIN! KILL UNTIL I DON'T KNOW WHERE I END AND HE BEGINS! I DON'T WANT MY LIFE BACK! I DON'T WANT MY NAME! I JUST WANT TO WATCH HIM BURN IN THE SAME FLAME! [Outro - fading, whispered] He's me... I'm him... We're... one... [End - single distorted bass drop into silence]
