Voices In My Head

It’s the voices in my head Split personalities They telling me to go to bed So another can carry out atrocities I’ve woken up before With a fresh beating heart in my hand I get flash backs Of people buried alive throughout the land My girlfriend went missing I thought she found another But this sick feeling Tells me “You killed her, kill her sister, brother, father and mother.” I know I’m mad, I know I’m insane But these voices were under control And I know in my conscious state I couldn’t bear to hurt any living soul I try to say awake So they don’t rule me But sleep…. Sneaks up And… I think they do things I can’t see I hear the voices They getting louder I try to stay awake by drinking coffee Taking a shower But they seem to have power To turn my happy nights Sour I live next door And wave to you Not to say hello But to lock your doors before the is due.
