[Verse 1: Randy Blythe]

I fought the darkness that would've crippled most men

You've never seen it

Disgaged from a poison pen

I'm not like you

Motherfucker, don't you forget it

Walk straight down a venomous road

Soak it up just so I can spit it

[Verse 2: Ice-T]

How can you understand me

I don't fucking understand myself

How can you even help me

I gotta play the fucking hand I'm dealt

I fight to control it

The monsters inside my brain

Decimate my enemies

Slow torture, bottomless pain

[Chorus: Ice-T]

Walk with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one is safe

Come with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one escapes

[Verse 3: Randy Blythe]

You're staring at me

You don't see what I am

A deadly viper in the skin of a normal man

I dwell in shadows

Motherfucker, you are my enemy

The eyes of a snake see visions of the end

I fall like the night and take you down with me

[Verse 4: Ice-T]

The beast is unleashed upon victims verse after verse

I place my hands on my forehead and the violence pours out like a curse

In the day I seem normal and I smile and joke and laugh

When I write late at night, I'm a murdering sociopath

[Chorus: Ice-T]

Walk with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one is safe

Come with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one escapes

[Bridge: Randy Blythe]

No one is safe

No one escapes

There's no escape

[Chorus: Ice-T]

Walk with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one is safe

Come with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one escapes

Walk with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one is safe

Come with me into the darkest recesses of my mind where no one escapes
