I hear a dark voice
Every time I remember
I feel it rejoice
My sanity it dismembers

Spinning and falling
Down a deep dark hole
A past sad and appalling
I hear the voice take control

I scream and shout
Weeps followed by wails
As melancholy breaks out
I try to stop it; to no avail

The voice coos
Filled with pity and gloom
I was a bird; used and abused
Shot down by my doom

Now I sit here a victim
Cold, lying in the silence
Insanity a symptom
Of my internal war of violence

Numb and dead on the inside
Crouched in fear
My heart races as I try to hide
Oh why can't I disappear?

As the dark voice takes form
I can only stand frozen
The man from whom I was born
A monster I know him
