Welcome, he is not.
Every so often he calls my name
Can you hear me, he says
Look at you, you fool
You are not worthy of life
You are a disgrace, boy
The way you talk to others so sweetly
The way that you walk...
With that permanent smile...
On that sorry looking face of yours
The things that you say and do
Who are you, some kind of god...he says
How dare you welcome them into a life so dull and flavorless
Step aside boy, he says
I will take them with me
I will take them to a place that will forever warm their hearts
Forever...till eternity
To hell
Begone, you imp, I say to him
Begone, you flaming fool
You see...
your voice isn't the only one that calls my name
Look up, do you see him...I say
It is his voice that I hear over yours each day
So begone, leave...you are not welcome inside my head
Begone, you poisonous parrot
Begone
