I’m locked inside these dreams
Where nothing is as it seems
My world is now so black and grey
Yet, I survive and live another day.

I cannot lose this parasite host
It’s very presence hurts us the most
Denying thoughts while scratching at my eyes
Wishing for freedom from these lies.

Voices, voices, voices so clear in my head
Advising me I’d be better off dead
Love me, help me please don’t let me die
I hate myself when you fall and cry.

Cannot stand to see this last
These visions of my darkest past
The Greyman is tearing me apart
Yet, I’ll never submit my precious heart.

Unwillingly, I am his slave
Though I will defend the soul he craves
Spending time starring at the stars
Wishing I could sponge out these scars.

There’s been time when I’ve lost all hope
Attracted to the answer from a rope
Hanging down, this life to claim
So tired of seeking who to blame.
