Anger flowing into my brain
The voices overpowering, driving me insane
Can't think of what I'm doing
Unaware of what I'm saying
Trying not to obey their words
I close my ears so they won't be heard
But they speak inside my head
The quiet won't be calming until I'm dead

(Chorus)
A mind poisoned by society
Trying to ruin the life of me
Bleeding my dreams on paper
Tempting to make them safer

(Verse 2:)
Failing me everytime
They try to tell me what's in my mind
Uncaring to the world around me
Seeing the pain but doing nothing about it
They think they know who I am
A stranger lurking inside my head

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3:)
Struggling to overcome the sickness
I bow my head and pray for forgiveness
This havock I've created was not my own
It's them to blame for what I've done

The quiet won't be calming until I'm dead
