# WELCOME TO MY HEAD ### [INTRO] *(Static. Low breathing. Distant whispers.)* Welcome... Welcome to my head. You wanted to know what goes on in here? Fine. **COME ON IN.** *(Guitar feedback explodes)* **PLATINUM!** --- ### [VERSE 1] Welcome to the place where the thoughts never sleep, Where the walls got a pulse and the floor underneath, Where the doubt gets loud and the memories speak, And the voice in the back keeps on counting my defeats. I got static in my skull, panic packed in the attic, Bad habits, past damage, black clouds automatic, Every thought turns graphic, every day gets erratic, I'm apparently dramatic till the damage gets massive. I can smile for the camera while I'm cracking within, Shake a hand, make a joke, then go battle again, Everybody sees the surface, nobody sees underneath, They don't hear the fucking screaming every time that I breathe. I got questions with no answers and answers I don't trust, Got a history of people turning promises to dust, So I learned to keep my distance, keep my feelings under lock, Now I wonder why I'm lonely when I built the fucking walls. --- ### [PRE-CHORUS] *(Melodic, tense)* There's something in my head... And it won't let me rest... Every time I shut my eyes, It gets louder in my chest... --- ### [CHORUS] **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** Where the voices never fucking go to bed, Where the past keeps crawling back from the dead, And every little thought gets stuck inside my head. **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** You wanted the truth, now you're seeing red, There's a war underneath every word that I said, So if you wanna know me... **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** *(Screamed)* **GET THE FUCK IN!** --- ### [VERSE 2] *(Faster technical rap, industrial drums)* I got a complicated constellation of frustrations, Accumulated aggravation from a lifetime of escaping, Every conversation gets dissected by my brain, Then I replay it twenty times till I'm irritated again. I'm overthinking everything, analyzing every angle, Trying to untangle every strand of every fucking thing I can't handle, Got a brain that makes a prison out of every single channel, Then I'm mad that I'm imprisoned by the walls that I dismantled. That's the paradox, I'm the locksmith and the lock, I'm the reason that I'm trapped And the reason that I knock. I'm the question and response, I'm the battle and the bomb, I'm the person saying "calm down" While another side says "fuck off." I got anger underneath it, Got embarrassment beneath it, Got a million different reasons Why I don't know how to feel it. So I turn it into music, Put the chaos in the speakers, If my head is getting crowded, I'ma make the whole world hear it. --- ### [CHORUS] **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** Where the voices never fucking go to bed, Where the past keeps crawling back from the dead, And every little thought gets stuck inside my head. **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** You wanted the truth, now you're seeing red, There's a war underneath every word that I said, So if you wanna know me... **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** --- ### [BRIDGE] *(Everything cuts except distorted bass and whispers.)* **VOICE 1:** You're not good enough. **VOICE 2:** Nobody understands you. **VOICE 3:** You always fuck everything up. **VOICE 4:** They're gonna leave. **VOICE 5:** You're still the same person. *(Silence.)* **PLATINUM!:** Shut up. *(Whispers grow louder.)* SHUT UP. **SHUT THE FUCK UP!** *(Full band crashes in.)* --- ### [VERSE 3] *(Aggressive, rapid-fire delivery)* Now imagine every insecurity amplified through a speaker, Every memory repeated till the meaning's getting deeper, Every failure resurrected by a brain that won't release it, Every person that betrayed you becoming part of your demeanor. That's the architecture, That's the fucked-up infrastructure, That's the reason I can turn a simple thought into a rupture, Got a mind that's like a furnace and a heart that's like a bunker, And I'm both the demolition and the motherfucking constructor. I built this shit from pieces that were never meant to fit, Put the pain beside the anger, put the fear beside the grit, Put the kid beside the man and made them both coexist, Now I'm staring at myself like, "Which one of us is this?" I don't need another mask, I don't need another lie, I don't need to act okay Just to make it through the night. If you hear me getting louder, That's the part I kept inside, If the walls begin to shake... **THAT'S MY MIND!** --- ### [BREAKDOWN] *(Half-time guitars. Everything drops to silence between hits.)* **WELCOME...** **TO...** **MY...** # **HEAD!** *(BOOM)* You hear that? That's the sound of every thought I was too afraid to say. *(BOOM)* You feel that? That's the weight of every memory I couldn't throw away. *(BOOM)* You want inside? **THEN STAY THE FUCK THERE!** --- ### [FINAL CHORUS] **WELCOME TO MY HEAD!** Where the voices never fucking go to bed! Where the past keeps crawling back from the dead!
