I’ve got these voices in my head
I swim in bottles till they’re dead
But my ears still house their ghost when I awake
As they whisper over whit noise my mistakes
By afternoon they’re back to life
Slowly detailing my last night
And their numbers grow with seconds I’m alone
So I join people with voices of their own
Chorus:
And the graveyards where I stay
Help to bury me each day
But I keep on hanging ’round
Till my failures make no sound
I’ve got these shadows after me
They know the patterns I repeat
And they take extensive notes on what I’ve done
That they threaten to expose to everyone
Chorus
Don’t hate me
I’m a man of infinite needs
Am I crazy or maybe
It’s all just as it seems
I’ve got these villains in my soul
I’m always under their control
And I beg and plead for every single step
As they twist and turn me like marionettes
Chorus
