You think I might be quite unstable
And you’ve read so many big books
But still I cannot see
If the unstable one is me
How come you are clawing out your eyeball?
Oh that’s me…
You think that just because I talk to myself
That my brain is now losing connections
But I know, every smell and taste and texture
Is to me, is a figment, of my mind
I know the only people who do exist
Are those who talk inside which do compel
And if you would listen very carefully
You will learn they want you dead as well as I
Have you ever heard a woman scream bloody murder?
Or asked the grinning mad man why he grins?
Can you free me from the voices deep inside me
Have you talked with all the voices in my head
Have you talked with all the voices in my head
Come untie these chains that surround and bound me
Come listen to the child you have tortured
A symphony of sadness that’s unnerving
Come closer to make this sad man smile wide
The father and the excop are my brothers
The hooker and fiance are my friends
And we all are connected to each other
In a mind that is twisted but I’m fine
How far gone can a crazy man go?
Pop some pills and you may not ever know
And you’ll never hear the sound of one ripped limb from limb
For whether you laugh or help to control
You need to talk with all the voices deep inside me
Or you will never live to tell another soul
You can shove a mouth with pills
But the mind is restless still
You must talk with all the voices in my head
