The Voices
I lie in bed as they rattle
in my closet where they hide
under the bed where they live
inside my head where they thrive
they whisper, they talk
they mutter, they scream
they hunt me when I'm awake
they haunt me in my dreams
the skeletons threaten
to let themselves out
they say they'll tell people
what my fears are about
the monsters under the bed
now live inside my head
each one has a name
and they all drive me insane
then there's the voices
who sound bigger than me
they scare me the most
though they're the ones I can't see
they tell me I'm worthless
no matter what I do
I know that they're lying
but it just sounds so true
you have no friends they tell me
and I tell myself it's a lie
but I wonder now and then
when I perish, who will cry?
they say I'm better off alone
with this one I agree
because no matter what happens
I won't ever betray me.
