The voice inside your head

A quiet, silent shadow
slipping through the night
Just beyond your reach
hidden from the light

A devious idea
In a shadowy disguise
to creep into your mind
and fill you with it's lies

A proding in your back
a whisper in your ear
the taunting little sound
only you can hear

And people don't understand
they laugh at all your pain
while the little voice giggles
as they call you insane

And the little shadow always wins
if you're not prepared to fight
and one day you'll do as it says
then nothing will be right

And locked inside your padded cell
You'll wish that you were dead
regretting that you listen to
the voice inside your head.
