Never truly gone Always lurking In the dark corners Of my conscience The unseen tormentor Holds me hostage In my own mind I'm betrayed by my own self           Turn it off...               Turn it off...                    Turn it off! It spits words Of hate and anger Completely relentless And vile -- there's no escape Impossible to hold your ears And not listen When the insults are coming From your own head

Never truly gone Always lurking In the dark corners Of my conscience The unseen tormentor Holds me hostage In my own mind I'm betrayed by my own self           Turn it off...               Turn it off...                    Turn it off! It spits words Of hate and anger Completely relentless And vile -- there's no escape Impossible to hold your ears And not listen When the insults are coming From your own head
Just when I thought I had my emotions in check...
