Voices (1996)

As you lie there on your bed trying to fight those voices in your head,
you wonder why it has to be you who is not normal and has something wrong.

You feel it deep inside and sometimes it's too strong to hide,
you can feel it getting heavy and stronger, it's too hard for you to cope any longer,
you jump up, your face angry and red, you want to hurt people to make them dead,
you use your fists, your teeth, your legs, your head,
people shout STOP IT STOP IT,
and you say "i'm trying i'm trying", and inside your crying.

KILL KILL KILL that's all you can hear,
DEATH DEATH DEATH that's all you can see,

"i did nothing wrong so why punish me?"

Inside you feel guilty so you get angry and act as you do,
you hurt people that care but inside your hurting you,
the more your angry the more you feel guilt,
it gets so hard you can't cope and you look at your life with no hope,
you get depressed and start to cry saying to yourself you want to die,
you look at your hands they are no longer fists,
you hate yourself so much you slash your wrists,
your an angry person as we can see

"i'm not angry at you i'm angry at me!",

You shout kick punch and bite,
but it's really yourself you want to fight,
your not angry, but guilty,
not guilty of a crime,
but guilty,

Because there's something wrong with your mind!
