Mad Hatter

I'm hearing voices inside my head
Screaming and shouting
Laughter filled with dread
Noises distorted from the past
I'll carry this 'til my life last

Where is all this coming from
Why does it have to be me to succumb
To this disease that takes over the brain and make it numb
Numb of all the feelings i have inside
It really takes its toll when you can't laugh or cry

Manic episodes, delusional thoughts
How hard it is live with these
The beaming smile you used to see
Those happy moments you shared with me
Now turned to frown and misery

Yesterday the Martians are out to get me
Today i'll be Napoleon
Let me get my horse and i'll cross the Rubicon
Illusions, delusions of grandeur
I want my reality back, can someone please give me a cure

Ever since the day my world turned to gray
You've said to me that all the memories we've treasured
Will always be remembered
That I may not be the way you're used to me
But you'll love me unconditionally

Reality is much harder to grasp these days
They all say that i'm crazy, a godless man cursed
If only you'd listen to every word i say
I'm telling you Jesus Christ walks with me everyday
He's the one telling me what i must say
