SO PARANOID

I am paranoid about my religion

I am paranoid about my gender

I am paranoid about my personality

I take everything personally

If someone says something

I interpret it negatively

When someone is nice

I question their motives

When someone is nasty

I think they are a bigot

No history of trusting

Got me anywhere

So do not get into

It with me

You will be met

With hidden hostility

See nobody knows

What my kin’s been through

Nobody cares

Except a few

So in a world full of hostile people

With chips on their shoulders

I am their equal

You will never know

I come on too polite

Do not cross my path

You will not live to see daylight.

The ward

Walking into work 
It's a mad house 
Some are in corners complaining 
Others scaring up their own flesh 
Nails filled with their own blood
Screaming echoes through every hall

Watching your back every shift 
Everyday 
Waiting for one to slip through the niceness crack 
They get their freedom and bam 
The entire staff is on task
Some laugh while they watch the scene unfold
Some cry afraid to be so bold

I pity them 
And love them at the same time
Afraid of their thoughts 
It seems like some can read my mind
They look at you with blank eyes "lost"

You must be Sick to live here 
I'm paranoid to work here 
Afraid I will get sucked up in the insanity hype 
They tend to live happier lives 
No fear, no pain, no stress 
Friends they talk to in their heads 
No need to dress to impress 
A Johnny fits like a vest
A bed to sleep in 
Three square meals a day 
Snack in-between 
Drugs come free here 

And I'm so afraid 
Afraid of this place 
Or maybe I just know  I fit in more then i'd like to admit
I need to quit

Today is poltergeist
Every corner is my ultimate enemy
I have expatiated every brackish sinner from the face
of my personal cosmos
The Mundane is more than blind
Give me reason
Give me bliss
Because there's a sun I keep under my arm
Purple from the goddess greatest sin...

Demonic Madhouse

In the madhouse strapped to a rubber bed
demons dancing only I can see
are they real or all in my head?

Paranoid delusions as I walk onto the ward
people staring at me as I pass
pealing my skin back I can no longer hide behind my mask.

Doing black magic I seek to strike fear
even the biggest mother fucker
better not come near.

Crawling in my skin the worms feast on my soul
anxiety causing me to pace
demons always watching sulpher blasts in my face.

They seek to restrain me with their magic pills
I shrug them off like they don't exist
i'm demon kind I do as I wish.

Screaming demon language at the top of my lungs
casting and casting I lick their souls clean
doing the devils work just for fun.

The crazies milling around me see me as I am
afraid of me because they know i'm evil
and will rip out their hearts if I can.

Paranoia my only true friend
people and places may fall
but you paranoia keep me safe from it all.

I love my madness it keeps people away
they don't cling to me
and I like it that way.

I'm sure i'll see the ward again
though they better say their prayers when i'm around
as I set my hell hounds out for their feast

I know i'm there for one reason to feed the great beast.

Non-bizarre Delusions


I don't trust them
Peeking threw my window
Just leave me alone
Why won't they go

They give me pills
Three times a day
You have to take them
Is all that the nurses say

Medication will help
While frozen straight face
Those liars  concocted it
From a poisonous base

My arms now jacketed
Behind my back tight
Weakened from starvation 
I'm loosing this fight

Electroconvulsive test
They want to zap my brain
They say it's for the best
                 Haha!
What do they think I'm insane

Much Better Now



It's a mad house
Watch out for the dolls
They hand out our meals 
As they walk down the halls

Our pills come next
I'll give you mine
I haven't taken em for awhile
And look I'm doing fine

They make me  so itchy 
Like bugs under my skin
Burrowing tunnels
Eating my flesh from within

I don't need to be here
They will let me out soon
And why are you here
Im suppose to be alone in my room

step outside
try to chill
and get stoned
I come back
in the madhouse
the tv is fuckin loud
cartoons all day long
my mind is fuckin gone!

it's sunny and bright
I sit down to relax
I hear the sound
of broken glass!!!

at my neighbors

curtains and blinds

They're Looking
Staring
Peering into my mind
Eyes burning in my brain
Seeing my anguish and pain
I hear the chitter chatter
Hush whispers and creepy grins
My blood is full of pins

SHUT UP!!!!
They know what I did
They saw it all
I'm gone
I'm dead

SHUT UP!!!!!

My body sways in rhythm
Head pounding in fury

SHUT UP!!!!

Dead and gone

I am  still alive
And they know
What I did

They saw
EVERYTHING

Drooling on the floor
Its all a show
they know

SHUT UP!!!!

Just leave me alone
please
I beg
Have mercy

PLEASE!!!!

SHUT UP!!!

Pills
Swallow
And choke on my thoughts
They control me
but what you thought was helping-

I'll slit you from ear to ear
So take wipe that grin from your face

Anger is my only friend

I'd break you like a twig

Blades Blades
My new best friend

Come closer
Feed into my lies

Listen now
She's in disguise

I can kill without guilt

These pills....

I'll watch as your blood is spilled

Fire Fire
My one companion
Burn you down
And rebuild life

Brick by brick
My hell is made

Laughter fills my ears in pain

You'd think I've gone insane
I'm not
These pills
Are just a part of the game

I Can't See Straight

In a mad house like this
Who could?

The sad hours on a night I wished
Who would?


So just get me the fuck out of here
Before the lines of their once caring faces
Are appearing less and less clear
And I'm left standing, struck with overbearing fear.

Breathing in, has become a vicious task
My eyes are blurring out from lack of oxygen
And I can't see straight, anymore.
I'm walking around wearing this suspicious mask
My insides burning up from the fact, of being boxed in
Wrapped up so tight, so nice.
I surely won't make it, anymore
On this wretched night.

I think we might just have to leave
All this paranoia, isn't to beneficial for me
I'm not trying to annoy you,
But I might just heave
Up everything critical in me.

These walls harvest nothing
but sanity and suicidal thoughts
within this four corner box,
It's held together only by mans
delusional plot to keep the real thinkers
behind these mental locks...

-But,-
No matter what they do,
We'll find a way to be together
and rain hell upon this place..
Those eyes, haunt me,
I can't dream without her conveying
beauty into it with her lovely face

-Now,-
I swear I'll rip apart anyone,
or anything. keeping us at bay,
through the flickering halls of mans pestilence,
She stands just the only ounce of good
Like a relic, branded solely
for others to bask in twisted elegance

-I-...
watch the hours drift by oh so slowly...
that the shadows forever dance
in wake of the new adventure near,  
and the walls sing away my plans
with an overwhelming tone
only I seem to hear....

-Am-...
I..Wait Where has the sounds gone,
the groaning, the yells and
blood curling screams...
Am I alone?
Or is just another fantasy?
a Plague of dreams?

-Awake-...
