Old Friend

Please keep it down, I can’t think straight, Putting thoughts in my head, I don’t know how much more I can take, These voices they have control of me, They make me do things, I can’t think straight, The things I’ve done, the people I’ve hurt, I’m dangerous, this life I do not deserve, Should I really be here or is it my time to go, In my ear whispering, I can’t think straight, Their words so cruel and threatening, I never know what’s going to come next, Making me feel, it’s time to meet death as an old friend.
