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.
