I Hear Voices

You can’t do this
You can’t say that
You can’t be with them
You can’t leave them
Always got to work  
Till the day you fucking die
Don’t you ever forget  
You’re a fucking SlAvE!
 
I hear voices everywhere
Distorting all my views and choices  
Till I’m left regretting all my righteous virtues
Yeah, I hear voices  
Telling me what everything should be  
When all I want is to  
Get this shit out of my HeAd!

Thinking I have friends  
But it’s only pretend  
Like, Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
The jokes on me  
Just way too unstable  
That it became a joke  
Just way too different  
To ever be the part of  
Their voices always telling me LiEs!
 
I hear voices everywhere
Distorting all my views and choices  
Till I’m left regretting all my righteous virtues
Yeah, I hear voices  
Telling me what everything should be  
When all I want is to  
Get this shit out of my HeAd!

 
How is it I’m always blind,
To the beauty of the world?
How can I get the joy,  
That I always see in others?
Is it all just in my head?
Some kind of mental disorder?
If that’s the case  
Then would I be happier to listen, and look away from the truth?

 
Dreaming of days with seclusion  
Wishing the world all away  
Sometimes feeling sad and sick
Not sure what face I’ll wear today  
If I pretend that I’m not the outcast  
Can I fake a smile with you?  
What choices do I have?  
It hurts too much to think  
Of the ugly world I live in  
I just wish it all away
