I paused a while to peer in
I thought I knew the man within
I wondered how he knew my name
And he and I were dressed the same
Surely you’ve no need to fear
Everything is yours in here
His words were strange I listened more
He beckoned me right through the door
Come inside and walk and see
There’s no-one apart from me
In a daze I watched his grin
And suddenly I was within
Before he went I asked his name
He laughed and said we’re both the same
For I am you and you are me
In here there’s no identity
I’m your ego what you made
I’m the role you’ll always play
You gave me life and soon I grew
And now I’m more real than you
Now you’ll live inside this brain
A living dead eternal pain
Here I’ll leave you far behind
Inside the corridors of your mind
