Lyrics:
Out in the streets another night begins,
they’re still here with me (shadows in my ears like humming):
Wired in my brain the ghosts they keep on calling me,
changing the fabric of reality.

Lying in bed, I can hear three voices
stuck in my head, they keep coming in and out of nowhere…
(They’re) always there, dressed in grief and malice,
pulling my strings and taking hold of me.

Shards of a mirror: I see there are three of me,
still can’t find the one that I am meant to be.
Haunting my life and my sleep,
a strange war within as the world’s so distant in my head.

Savage and deep, this struggle from within
still burns on my skin (yet a thousand shivers crawling).
I talk to myself, but every time I’m someone else,
suddenly changed my body’s chemistry.

Once again I can hear these voices stuck in my head,
they keep coming in and out of nowhere…
(They’re) always there, dressed in grief and malice,
pulling my strings and taking hold of me.

Shards of a mirror: I see there are three of me,
still can’t find the one that I am meant to be.
Haunting my life and my dreams,
a strange war within
as the world’s so distant again.
Split in my head, torn between opposed realities,
a three faced fire still dwells inside of me.

Give up the purpose, look at the world we made…
do as you’re told, your every single day…
forget about whim: it doesn’t fit the plan…
just stand in line, the let it happen stand…

Fragments of self I perceive
I’m now coping with… Can I handle all this?
