Voices Inside My Head

Voices Inside My Head
By D.E. Johnson

Who do you think you are;
You point your finger at me,
and wag your little tongue to me;
Why don’t you listen to what I have to say!

You make me feel like I have a hurricane inside;
Yeah, I have a storm raging inside,
and if you don’t stop pointing out my mistakes to me....

I have a whirlwind raging within,
and lightningbolts crackling in my skin!
Yeah, its like I have a thousand voices yelling inside;
and every one of them wants you dead!

Yeah, maybe I’m paranoid;
but you seem to be following me everywhere;
I find myself watching my back;
and still that storm burns me within.

Why, why, why...
Did you follow me today?
Can’t you see the fire burning within?
Couldn’t you see my eyes all aflame?

You know what I can’t stand?
Its your voice inside of my head!
Its like I can’t keep you out;
Your words encompass everything!

I hear your voices in my head;
They yell, and tear at me,
break me and hate me;
Can’t you stay out of my head!

I’m a furnace that is about to explode,
the fires burning hot in my skin,
and still I hear your voices inside;
I can’t stop the voices within!

Now I’m on fire,
and I have lightning in my hands;
Why don’t you shut up,
and get the fuck out of my head!

Its like a tornado inside,
my brain!
and I hear it roar every time
 I close my eyes;
I’m a whirlwind;
I can’t stop,
 I have to obey the voices within!

The signs....
They point now....
to...
Homicide!

Anything to get this whirlwind out of my head;
To make take this fire out of my skin;
to remove your voice from inside of my head!

I hear you scream in terror;
Its too late;
 I must obey the voices within!

I feel the lightning crackle between my fingertips;
and now your bleeding and screaming;
Get your voices out of my head!

I can feel them just beneath my skin,
writhing like lightning;
flickering like fire;
and now in your blood I’m gonna swim!

I can’t stop what burns within;
You got inside of my head,
and now I’m paying the price!

I follow you, my knife flashing;
you duck down,
and I plunge it right into
 your skin!
I’m not gonna stop ‘til I can’t feel you within!
You can beg, scream, and cry;
but I have a whirlwind in my head;
and I’m not gonna stop ‘til I know you are dead!
