[Verse 1]
Caged in the cranium, bars made of bone,
My alter ego whispers, claims the throne.
Echoes in the hallways, battles in my dome,
He the landlord, I’m just renting the home.
[Chorus]
Who’s the puppet, who’s the string puller?
Brain a battlefield, the light getting duller.
Shadow boxing me, in mirrors I falter,
Half saint, half sinner, who’s on the altar?
[Verse 2]
Conversations crackle like static on a wire,
His voice gasoline, my thoughts on fire.
Trading insults, phrases cutting like a blade,
He’s the darkness creeping, I’m the light that he fades.
[Chorus]
Who’s the puppet, who’s the string puller?
Brain a battlefield, the light getting duller.
Shadow boxing me, in mirrors I falter,
Half saint, half sinner, who’s on the altar?
[Bridge]
Devil on my shoulder, said he’s here to stay,
Angel tied up, locked and tucked away.
Losing grip, slipping towards decay,
My mind’s a cage fight, I’m the prey.
[Verse 3]
He’s my reflection but his smirk don’t belong,
Same face, different lyrics to the song.
Argue till my throat raw, till my chest tight,
But he don’t back down—he just ignites.
