Schizo

Schizo, Schizo, oh, no A life I lead that pains me so A tiny voice inside my head that just won't go Only I can hear; people think it is a show But it is not a show, no, not one bit The voice I hear is female; sadistic & full of wit She is entertained by my shrieks for silence - damn, what a ***** This voice I hear, her name is Nemesis The Grecian goddess of revenge, what did I do to deserve this? "Nothing," she once told me - oh, how cynical She is nothing but a menace And a criminal Schizophrenia is not a joke It's like you're on Meth, or maybe even Coke Paranoia is driving you to the end of the road It's really not something you can revoke Schizophrenia is one scary disease You see & hear things That others cannot hear or see Please, God, tell me why, I am on my knees, Tell me why you made me such a paranoid freak? This constant fear of living long Haunts me everyday at dawn This voice, she treats me like her little pawn Nemesis is truly the Devil's spawn
