Mind Games
Mind Games: Unraveling Life's Complex Chessboard
Lyrics
I can feel, how do you know
I am aware, how can you be certain
I can stand, I will make you fall
I can endure challenges, and I will make you experience failure
There is a way, they'll all stare and laugh at you
There is a path where people will mock and ridicule you
I will pray, maybe then you'll realize
I will pray, hoping you'll gain understanding
That: when you wake up and you feel it
Upon awakening, you'll realize there's no escape
You find that there's nowhere to run
You'll face challenges and find no refuge
What's the matter, do you have a headache where your mind used to be
What's troubling you? Is it a mental struggle?
Come on now, it's not like you, it seems you're out of control
Come on, this behavior is unusual for you; it appears you're losing control
Think fast, you lack soul kid, now it's a mind game, me and you
Think quickly; you lack a certain depth of character. Now it's a mental struggle between us
You are here, when did you realize
You exist, when did you become aware of this?
I will fight, what happened all this time
I will confront challenges; what transpired during all this time?
I get the impression here that you don't understand
I sense a lack of understanding from you
I have to tell you son this game will never end
I must inform you, this struggle will persist
And all you'll see someday is an old man asking why
Someday, you'll reflect on life, wondering why you never discovered your true self
Why he never found himself, what happened to his life
Questioning what happened to your life
And then you will wake up and feel it, it's a mind game
Eventually, you'll wake up to the realization that it's a mental struggle
You'll pay, you'll regret this, forget it now, you'll never get it
You'll face consequences, and regret will follow; abandon any hope of understanding
There is no need here now to make you understand
There's no need for me to explain now
A little boy, a frightened child are trapped within this man
A part of you, the fearful child, is trapped within the adult
I will talk about this game for a lifetime to come
I will discuss this struggle for the rest of my life
And everyone will think of you when they think of giving up
Everyone will think of you when contemplating giving up
When they do, I'll be there playing the game that I played with you
When others face challenges, I'll be there playing the same mental struggle I played with you
Let me tell you who I am, I am your fears, I am your nightmare, I am you
Let me define myself; I am your fears, nightmares, and ultimately, I am you
Saddened eyes and broken dreams, something's inside my bottle
Eyes filled with sorrow and shattered dreams, something troubles me deeply
All the things that make me the things that forced the night on
All the experiences that shaped me, the factors that brought darkness
All this time I have listened to you, I played the game, I've lived it
All this time, I've listened to you and engaged in the mental struggle; I've lived it
Get out your soul-sucking sacrifice, I can't take it one more minute
Release your soul-draining sacrifices; I can't endure it any longer
Yes here it comes again another fact on fiction
Here it comes again, another clash between reality and fiction
I'm another man in another life, the world of no restrictions
I am a different person in a different life, in a world with no limitations
Saddened eyes and broken dreams, something's inside my bottle
Heartbroken eyes and shattered dreams, something troubles me deeply
All the things that made me proud, the things that forced the night on
All the things that made me proud, the factors that brought darkness
There is a way, yes I know
There is a path, and I am aware of it
