I'm here they yell
Constantly yelling
It's the voices shouting
Shouting I say!
Always telling me that they're there
I only want the quite
I only need to sleep
But the voices screaming
Screaming I say!
They won't stop
I must be out of my mind
A madman I say!
They're always telling me
At the edge of the bridge
There you will find the cure
Why?
I don't want to go
I'm scared
Scared I say!
They might pull me over
Into the dark
Where I can't move
Where I'm bound
But they are screeching
Screeching I say!
They won't stop
They're pulling me from sleeps clutches
I'm going insane!
Insomnia is setting in
What's real?
Are these doors real?
Or when I open them will they pop out
Yelling at me
To go to the bridge
Where it all started
The rooms spinning
Spinning I say!
And I'm crashing
Crashing to the floor
The voices are raving
Raving I say!
Make them stop
Please I'm losing grip
Curses to those ungodly voices
Roaring in my head
Beating at my skull
Fleeting in my head
You'd think I was dead
But no the dark has no mind
To save me the ache of those voices
Trembling like a shaky note
Sang from a crones lips
This madness is setting in
It's been let in
The rest can go to hell
