The Mind

Like a crazy man
I can hear your voice
Inside of my head
You're screaming so loud
Except I'm sure right now
My mind is dead.

This voice inside my head
She's so full of doubt
Sometimes she screams so loud
I've just
got to let it out

I used to hear these voices.
Not many. Just three.
Now I don't hear Annie.
It's just Madison and Me.
I hear her cry apologies
I hear her cry that she messed up
But now I can't hear Annie
It's my own voice trapped in lock up

Madison. She scares me.
She makes me feel insane.
She treats me like a guest
Except she's here in MY brain.
She screams so damn loud
Things I never want to hear
She tells me that I'm worthless
And she leaves me in fear.
I can hear her whisper
In the darkest of night
Her murderous temptations
None of it felt right

Annie. She's so sweet.
She prays for only good things.
She smiles bright and laughs
It's only happiness she brings
She told me I was pretty
When no one paid attention to me
She called me beautiful
And her sweet voice set me free
She told me I was smart
When I did something right
Her brightness and color
Made life black and white

There's good and there's evil
There's nothing in between
I just have both sides of that coin
Trapped inside of me

I cant help but turn my head from side to side
I replay and replay the day that Annie died

It was quiet. All was well.
For once I thought it could be would be swell
But I could hear Madison's whispers grow louder until they became a scream
Lord save me from this bad dream
I could hear her struggle and I could feel her move about
She found what she was looking for and she put the gun in her mouth
She shook her head and cried those tears
She heard her knock and whispered Annie dear
You gotta go

Then I felt the chill as her fingers brushed the trigger
But all sweet Annie wanted was to be with her
The world stopped the moment the bullet left the barrel.
And I'm so sorry that Annie had to face that peril.
Madison she cried for the first time since she came to me
She felt so bad because she set our sweet young Annie free
Madison has been here since day one, not for me but beside me in my mind
See she was sitting there in the seat right behind me

When she was still there but little Annie was gone
I felt my heart break as the day turned to dawn
She cried out I'm sorry. It was supposed to be me.
And with a shaking hand we lost number three.

I could feel the pain she felt as she realized that she missed
And she killed the one that she considered her little sis
Madison she cried as she loaded another round
And then I felt the shock as her body hit the ground

I used to hear these voices.
Not many. Just three.
Now I don't hear Annie or Madison.
It's just Me.
