I visit this site every day, but decided to create an account specifically for this song.
It is not about a sociopath or narcissism as previous comments suggest - for a simple reason - the whole text does not match this interpretation.
Chuck describes here perfectly the essence of schizophrenia symptoms, which can be
a) positive (delusions, hallucinations):
"See things that are not there / Intruding voices"
"A mind shared by an uninvited stranger"
b) negative (reduced affect display ergo FLATTERING OF EMOTIONS)
Schizophrenia may develop slowly or occur suddenly. Its causes are still unknown to science:
"Should we not prepare For the uncertain"
however, genetic dependence in receiving the disease is sometimes indicated:
"Of our destiny"
