Divided Mind

[Verse 1]
Two voices crawl beneath my skin,
Neither lose and neither win.
I wear a mask with broken glass,
Reflecting truths that never pass.

Each breath I take, I hear them fight —
One seeks peace, the other night.
Pulled apart by threads unseen,
I’m not sure where I've ever been.

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no silence in this brain...
Only weathered walls and rain...

[Chorus]
This is a divided mind — torn at the seam,
Trapped in the faultline between thought and scream.
One part breaking, one part blind,
Lost in the echo of a self confined.

This is the fracture I can’t outrun,
A war within — and no one won.
I can’t remember who I am…
Just fragments in a shaking hand.

[Verse 2]
I chase the ghosts I used to be,
But every shadow turns on me.
Familiar faces split and blur,
Their names erased — I’m not so sure.

I draw the line, then tear it down,
Wear a smile that hides the drown.
Each side of me wants to be real,
But neither side can truly feel.

[Bridge]
The mirror cracked… and in its place,
A thousand versions of my face.
Each one screaming something new...
And I don’t know which one is true.

[Final Chorus]
This is a divided mind — the great divide,
The scream behind my glassy eyes.
Where logic ends and chaos bleeds,
I feed the parts that no one sees.

This is the war that never fades,
A whisper sharp as razor blades.
And if I vanish, don’t rewind…
I was only ever a divided mind.
