Mirror in the Rift

Lyrics

[Narrator] (tone: neutral, mysterious)
One Rick left the center.
One stayed behind.
One ran to survive.
One designed the grind.

⸻

[Character: C-137 Rick] (tone: gritty, emotional, rebellious)
You built gods in your own skin,
I broke them just to begin.
You forge pain like steel,
I drink it ‘til I can’t feel.

⸻

[Character: Prime Rick] (tone: cold, calculating, superior)
You chose love, and it burned you.
You chose care, and it turned you.
You call it wisdom—
I call it weak.
You play the fool,
I own the peak.

⸻

[Split Pre-Chorus – Alternating]
[Character: C-137 Rick]
I lost my world,
but not my mind.
I chose Morty—
not your design.

[Character: Prime Rick]
You lost your edge,
when you found heart.
You think you’re free?
You played your part.

⸻

[Characters: Both Ricks] (tone: intense, crashing, overlapping delivery)
We’re the mirror in the rift,
Two reflections built to twist.
Break the glass,
tear the code—
Rick fights Rick
on a burning road.
One will fall,
but none will win,
‘cause in the void,
we’re both within.

⸻

[Character: C-137 Rick]
I run on rage, but I regret.
I bury guilt behind each step.
You chase control, but die inside—
a throne of ash, too cold to hide.

⸻

[Character: Prime Rick]
You pretend that you have choice,
but every scream still echoes my voice.
You are a branch,
I am the tree.
You are the cost—
I am the fee.

⸻

[Bridge – Both Ricks, intercut lines]
[Character: Prime Rick]
Two timelines, one scar.
Two kings, one war.

[Character: C-137 Rick]
You bled.
I designed.
You cried.
I aligned.

⸻

[Final Chorus – Both Ricks in staggered harmony / conflict]
We’re the mirror in the rift,
Fractals tearing at the lift.
You seek truth,
I sow fear—
Two Ricks,
only one frontier.
Break the loop,
or burn the spin,
But in the void,
we both begin.

⸻

[Outro – Spoken]
[Character: C-137 Rick] (low, exhausted)
You made this.

[Character: Prime Rick] (calm, ruthless)
You let it happen.
