Voices At Night
I woke up this morning
With a faintness in my head
Around 6:30, I went back to bed
To encounter the edge of madness I despair
The voices at night running up a scare
They follow me here
They follow me there
Nothing but whispers in the air
"What is it?" you ask of me.
I'm clasping the sheets above my pillow
One voice escapes and runs through my body
The others stay and continue to whisper
Fifteen years later
I am mad
The voices at night never went to bed
With the flicker of a lamp
Or the protection of its shade
They still haunt me every day
I am in chains
I am in a frame of mind that no one can change
I hear your every thought
Don't worry, I won't stop
I write this to you
It's so hard to forget
The voices in my head
At night I hear you
Your footsteps creaking in
The sheets go over my head
My blood runs cold
Then turns to flames
Though it is dark
I still see your face
Through heartache and rage
I keep up with your pace
Keep out of my way
I will do the same
Until we meet again
May the voices at night
Drag you away
And may you burn in hell
On a bright summer day
The voices summon you to die
And all I do is cry
The voices are me
The voices are dead
The voices at night have
Gone to bed.
