Body Bag

Scream and shout
Let it all out
These voices keep pumping through my head
Making me itch, my skin I will shred1

Screaming and laughing they just won't shut up
Don't worry please hurry it’s me they'll corrupt
They're laughing now as they take over me
If they were in your head you would agree2

They won't leave me alone their home is my mind
They hear all my thoughts the task they've assigned
To go to my sewing drawer and grab a needle and thread
Then run and get the tarp that lies in the shed3

A body bag is what I will make
Run away quickly your life is at stake
These voices are telling me to do something bad
They're driving me nuts, they're driving me mad4

I am no longer in charge of my life
As I run to that kitchen and grab my sharp knife
If you heard voices they'd tear you apart
They'll take over your life, every little part5

They'll take over your dreams when you're fast asleep
Don't think, don't laugh, and don’t make a peep
Into the depths of your soul
Until you no longer have control6

I've lost my life and you'll lose yours too
As the voices laugh and loudly coo
They're making me scream I can't do this
I'll kill myself instead of them having pure bliss7

I fall to my knees
God help me please
How did I get myself into this mess
How did it happen please give me one guess8

I’m beginning to feel quite frail
Like these voices are stabbing me with sharp nails
Stabbing and stabbing as their voices screech
But I can’t get away no matter how far I reach9

I feel like my head is about to explode
I want to put myself in that body bag I sewed
The voices have turned me against my own skin
Was this their plan all along, did it just begin10

How did they get inside of my head
How come they didn’t take someone else instead
I vaguely remember the life that I had
I had a loving mother and a loving dad11

But the voices slowly turned me against them
When I got that blue tarp and started to hem
This was the first body bag I made
It was crafted for the parents I betrayed 12

And that led me to here where I am today
That is what turned my life so grey
I killed my parents and buried them in the yard
I had a good life one that I scarred13

I loved my mom and I loved my dad
But it’s these stupid voices that drove me mad
They drove me deep into a dark oblivion
They are the ones that caused me this sin14

But I can’t seem to get rid of their screechy voices
They’re stuck there forever I don’t have any choices
So as I live out the rest of my life
Killing others with my sharp kitchen knife15

I’ll live with my voices inside my head
Until the last of my days when I drop dead
That’s the only choice I have living in my skin
Because either way the voices will win
