Paranoia
What's that, that noise I heard through my music?
It sounded loud, is something wrong?
Was it something bad, or did I just assume it?
Maybe nothing at all and it's just the song?
What's that scream, is it from someone near me?
Was it a shot, gunfire from the person over there?
Are they coming for me, am I being attacked?
Do I make up every way bad things can happen to me?
Am I the next, the next headline to be on the news?
A part of the fatality that makes up a few?
Will the end of my life be on this day?
Or will I live on with safe passageways?
That person is too close, are they going to hurt me?
What's that in their jacket, is it a weapon?
Am I safe, how can I get out of here?
What do I do, have I gone completely insane?
Trauma has a funny way of messing with the brain
Never will I truly feel safe ever again
On guard, a knife carried with my crystals
Still isn't enough to save me from the paranoia
