[Verse 1: X the Unknown Variable] I was born into this world, grew up with great intentions, taught myself these Morals, but it seems that they're no longer worth the mention Being drastically changed and mentally deranged I'm practically insane, the target in a shooting range After being lined up perfectly, they took their shots I was handicapped, outnumbered, then they left me there to rot But it wasn't really me, those ingrates murdered my soul My heart is still intact, but my mind took its toll I am no longer a whole, but hardly half a man, my blueprints Degraded to plans that even I don't understand If you wish to hold my hand, prepare to hold your head You'll be lying in your bed wondering if it was something that you said That made my face turn into one of those who are dead Remember: You're staring into eyes of the mislead The misreading of my future, credited to those with age I'll make it my duty to bring harmony as a sage...
