I just moved into your head
Gonna stay here for a while
Little bits of life within
Every time you smile

"wake up"

I gasped as I shot up from my sleep, immediately looking around my room to see if anyone was there.

"im in here silly"

"who and where are you?" I asked, creeped out, but all I got in return was a psychotic laugh.

"my names ashley, i live in your head."

I don't mean no disrespect
Got my shoes on in your bed
Put my picture on your wall
I'm the riddle you can't solve
I just moved into your head
Gonna stay here for a while

I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. What does she mean she lives in my head? No offense but this is really fucking creepy.

"i moved here, its nice, im think im gonna stay for a while"

My eyes widened. "What? No! You cant, its my mind!" I yelled, and she shushed me.

"shush! people will hear you, and i dont care, its cozy in here."

Taking up my head space, sleeping in your brain
I swear this boy is deadly, he loves these silly games
When is it enough? Will it ever be enough?
We keep each other entertained (playing these, playing these)
Playing these, playing these mind games
(Mind games, mind games)
Playing these, playing these mind games
(Mind games, mind games)

For the last week, Ashley has been living in my mind. She's completely taken over my body. Whatever she tells me to do, i do it. I hate it.

I just want her to leave, but she wont.I do everything she asks me to do, hoping in return she'll finally leave, but instead she just keeps playing mind games with me.

I see when you think of me
You silly little freak (you silly little freak)
Changing channels in your dream
At night when you sleep (at night when you sleep)

I groan as I wake up, my eyes adjusting from the light.

"good morning"

"fuck off ashley" i tell her and she gasps. "what did i do?" she asks me and I scoff. "You changed my dream three times last night, every time it got good you'd switch it!"

She laughs and I sigh, squeezing my eyes shut. I cant do this anymore, shes driving me insane.

Kick my feet up, watch the show
Turn your mind into my own
Love the way I pull your strings
I'm controlling everything
I just moved into your head
Gonna stay here for a while

"you know, this is very entertaining" Ashley tells after she made me reject my crush's offer to go out on a date. "im never leaving."

I feel tears in my eyes, and I blink, desperate to keep them at bay.

Taking up my head space, sleeping in your brain
I swear this boy is deadly, he loves these silly games
When is it enough? Will it ever be enough?
We keep each other entertained (playing these, playing these)
Playing these, playing these mind games
(Mind games, mind games)
(Playing these, playing these)

Its been two months now. I've gotten used to Ashley controlling me, i've basically given up fighting her.

Nothing I do is good enough for her.

She feeds off of my pain and embarrassment.

And she enjoys watching me suffer.

You know all my buttons and you pressed 'em
I'm in your head planting thoughts, did I mention?
Maybe we just do it for attention
Made up all the rules to perfection
Back and forth, you and I feel the tension
I'ma rewire our connection

"say yes"

"say yes"

"say yes"

"say ye-"

"SHUT UP" I scream, and my friends jaws drop as my eyes widen, realizing I said that out loud.

"m-maybe we should g-go"

I groan, palming my forehead as Ashley laughs.

"shouldnt have done that sweetheart."

"why wont you just leave?" I cry out.

"because, im your conscience, i plant your thoughts, i control you, i am you"

Taking up my head space, sleeping in your brain
I swear this boy is deadly, he loves these silly games
When is it enough? Will it ever be enough?
We keep each other entertained (playing these, playing these)

"without me, you'd be dead"

"you're nothing without me"

"nothing you ever do will ever be enough"

Her words repeat in my head, like a record player.

She loves seeing me try not to cry as she tells me i'm worthless, as she entertains herself by bringing me down, day by day.

Playing these, playing these mind games
(Mind games)
(Playing these mind games)
Playing these (playing these), playing these mind games
(Mind games)
(Playing these mind games)

She loves playing mind games.
