The Voice In My Head

A ringing in my ears it is all that I can hear
I see the sharpener looking at me 
It beckons to follow for it is just like me 
"Come here" it says but I will shake my head
"I will not, I can not" I scream but the voice in my head gets louder and louder
Each second it roars and I tell it I will not listen anymore
But I know this is a lie because I will never get to tell that voice goodbye

The voice is there it tells me it will be okay when I can't even imagine seeing another day
The pain in the body quiets the pain in the mind they say but I just want to know when I will be okay
How can I love myself when I'd trade this dumb body with anyone else

So once again I will listen to the thoughts of my own
I will pick up the sharpener
I will take out the blade
And I will do this for as long as I need because inside that loud voice will always
be the one to lead
That voice in my head, it wants me dead
