[Intro] (Clock ticking... distant whispers... vinyl crackle) "Inside the mind..." "...inside the madman..." [Verse 1 - Male Rap] I walk through the halls where my memories live Taking back pieces that I thought I couldn't give Every flaw on my skin got a story to tell Every road that I walked took me deeper as well Shadow in the glass, I hear the crack in my laugh Every thought doing laps, running back on the track Got a map of the maze on the back of my hand Every scar is a plan, every tick is a brand I hear the drip in the sink like a code in the cut Every whisper in the wall trying to pull me back up Got a reel in my head, all the scenes on spin Where the villain and victim wear the same cold grin [Female Opera Chorus - Third Person About Him] Inside his mind Inside his mind Inside the madman He's fine... he's fine... Him and his Twin Him and his Twin Cut from the same kin Same skin Inside his mind Inside his mind [Verse 2 - Male Rap] I talk to the mirror like it owes me the truth But it only throws back every scar from my youth I got voices in the static, I got ghosts in the room I got memories buried that are breaking through I ain't fighting a monster hiding deep in my soul I'm walking through the pieces that made me whole Every layer I peel, every truth that I find Is another locked door inside my mind Two shadows on the wall but they share one spine Two sides of a journey through the same timeline The fear and the courage, the loss and the climb All living together inside my mind [Female Opera Chorus - Third Person] Inside his mind Inside his mind Inside the madman He hides... he hides... Him and his Twin Him and his Twin Same blood within Same skin Inside his mind Inside his mind [Female Opera Bridge - Third Person] He walks with the weight of the world on his back He carries the memories he can't take back The shadow beside him was never a foe It was part of the journey that helped him grow He wears the scars, he carries the flame He walks through the darkness and answers his name Two sides of a story, one soul within The road never ends where the madman begins [Verse 3 - Male Rap] Inside my mind every hallway got a name Every locked door holds a piece of the flame Built from the pressure, forged in the wreck Every fall taught me how to protect My brain like a chessboard, every move costs sleep Still guarding the dreams that I promised to keep Silence like armor, under pressure I shine Diamonds ain't harder than surviving my mind I carry the chaos, I carry the calm The wound and the medicine, the fire and balm If they see the madness, let them look closer again They'll see every battle that created the man [Final Female Opera Chorus - Third Person] Inside his mind Inside his mind Inside the madman He's lying... He's fine... Him and his Twin Him and his Twin Same soul divided Trapped deep within Inside his mind Inside his mind [Outro] (Clock ticking... distant opera... tape slowing...) "Inside the mind..."
