I can't run away from this thing in me ([?])

I'm weakening down another now developing within ([?])

I can feel it—it's inside my head

Connected to my brain, this other me is slowly taking over

Deep beneath the eye that all can see

Energetic visions of the one I know myself to be

Look into my eyes

Don't listen to their lies

How can I stop this from being real? ([?])

No, my life will be no longer what it always used to be ([?])

Life neglected, infected by strain

I fall into the smothering, the even flow of ravaging pain

This my temple of self-caged contempt

A body slowly pierced by inevitable me

[Guitar solo]

Do I differ from yourself?

Am I like they say?

The truth eventually

I'm the one you wanna be

Can you feel the same as I

Another insight pushing to free itself

From the chains of the soul?

Turn your eyes toward the inside

Dig deep within—I'm sure you'll find

A different self, a different soul

To put you in peace with mind
