Haunted Mind
Please leave me now
Voices from the black
I plead with you
Please don't take me back
Why drag my mind so low
Why eat my very soul
Just to spit your venom
And within my sky create a hole
Don't rip away my courage
Don't make me sip upon the juice
That devours my very being
And makes all my screws come loose
Why send to me the madness
And awaken the terror in my mind
Why cant you let me sleep
And just make the fear go blind
The voices and the laughter
Manic in my head
Destroying my joy
And make me wishing I was dead
Why show me the blood and violence
Please show me love and peace
Don't take away my voice
People think me crazy and don't understand this place
I'm getting looks now
I've been quiet for too long
Please, I can't take no more
Just give me back my song
What have I done
To deserve such thoughts of hell
And why every time you send them
Do you ring that blasted bell
Please stop now
Before it is too late
