An errant brain in overdrive I could suffocate alone This mortal seam is crooked now Identity a disfigured drone Abandon it beyond Reality that breeds Serpentine is spawned The crooked man, a legend that bleeds ♪ Regenerate the deviant Or leave myself for dead A black flame now to light my way So I can burn all the bridges ahead The sinister baroque Turmoil left to seethe Wrought asunder, head to hip Yet the crooked man, the legend that breathes That's me ♪ A broken spirit healed uneven Two halves malaligned Mental overlord committing treason To the darkened depths I'm now consigned ♪ The crooked man soon reigning free ♪ Such dreams to dread arise Hellbent evolution A different man alive Cognate execution ♪ Sinuous past has cracked Lines on show are token Unstable mind released Imperfection broken ♪ The crooked man reborn ♪ Rambling and warped Berserk and deranged My tortuous facade A personality exchanged Never lie to myself Limit that distinction I'm yet the crooked man From now until extinction Extinction
