I can hear a voice through the static, white noise and blinding light My mind is so erratic, and my thoughts are not my own
I can see a face in the mirror, staring back at me with bloodshot eyes An expression filled with mounting horror, as I start to realise
There is a voice inside me, no one can hear, that speaks to me in tongues Like a devil on my shoulder, it whispers in my ear, telling me I don't belong
No one knows the secrets I've buried, in the darkest corners of my mind Or the heavy burden I've carried, for so long along
If they knew the depth of my weakness, or the darkness that I've tried to hide Would they see, all the agony, I've locked away inside
So many secrets, I've hidden for so long, locked tight without a key Each one a weakness, a symptom of the sickness, that lives inside of me
Come take the ego trip, step inside and see Take a chance, and lose your grip, on the self, on the I, on the me
So be careful what you wish for, you just might lose yourself Giving up, a little too much, slowly becoming someone else
Some words are better left unspoken, and better left unsaid Some doors should never be opened, some doors can never be closed again
Now I'm nothing but a voice in the static, lost forever in the blinding light My mind, consumed by panic, my senses overthrown
Though I see a face in the mirror, it's an image that I do not recognise I recoil in wordless terror, for the face I see, it is not mine
This inner tempest, has overwhelmed my senses, and left me almost blind It is relentless, and I have no defences, against the demons that live within my mind
Come take the ego trip, step inside and see Take a chance, and lose your grip, on the self, on the I, on the me
