The voices

Asylum

The voices in my head

The monsters under my bed

The symphony of my shrieks

Are giving people the creeps

Drowning out all sound

Like a laugh from a clown

Haha haha haha

They laugh at what they don't understand

Giving a crown to the foolish man

Hoping their frowns turn upside down

Calling me crazy

But all of you are just lazy

Locking us up like animals

When you’re the cannibals

Swirls in my brain

It's always pouring rain

Whispers in my ear

I blame for all my tears

I'm not sick

But I can't be fixed

I guess I'll do it on my own

And go to the unknown

They heard nothing

As something snapped

Everything goes quiet

I fixed what was different

The voices in my head and the monsters under my bed

Are all quiet

Because I'm dead
