Voices

There's no place to run to, I'm trapped and I'm cold
Black heart, black mind, blank soul
I cannot face what I fear, 'cause what I fear is unclear
Will I live like this forever?

I woke up lost clawing at my sheets
Flashing lights and the devil's voice calling me
I can't escape what's in my head
Are you real or a medicated mess I dream?

And I tried to fight my best
But gave in to the preacher inside my head
They whisper the verse of a spoken curse
As they claw at me

I am the one who fights an undermining enemy
When I look in the mirror he's staring back at me
I am the one searching for solace in a vivid dream
A sick, twisted illusion, created by me

From here on out I'll be the man you said I couldn't be
No longer blinded by his scars
And when the demons come, black out my eyes, consume my soul
No longer live with fear at heart

The voice I fear, whispers in my ear
Black heart, black mind, blank soul
The voice I hear, it's you I fear
Black heart, black mind, blank soul

Dead, alone, I can not feel my frail bones
Is my heart intact? Take me back, I relapse
Dead, alone, I hear the whispers call me home
Is my heart intact? Take me back, take me back

Take me back

The voice I fear, whispers in my ear
Black heart, black mind, blank soul
The voice I hear, it's you I fear
Black heart, black mind, blank soul

Black heart, black mind, blank soul
Take me back, take me back
Black heart, black mind, blank soul
Take me back, take me back
