Born this way
To mother's dismay
I was different as child
She could tell
I was not well
Something wrong deep inside
Through the years
She tamed my fears
Chased away the apparitions
Now she's gone
I cannot carry on
Trapped by my own indecision
I'm lost in the haze
Nothing is real
Only the voices encouraging me
I'm lost in the maze
I cannot feel
Feelings suppressed when they medicate me
I'm being deceived
Everyone's lying
My paranoia takes over I scream
And I'm certain to die
If I don't leave
Only escape brings salvation it seems
Day by day
They take my thoughts away
Needles to calm and sedate
I lay in bed the people in my head
All the while plan my escape
As days go by the people multiply
And while I sleep they are awake
The medicines do not affect them
As I am but one of them
I shades of i
Shades of me
Dealing with
Anger
I'm multiplied
By me
Multiplicity
I cannot run
I now must face the gun
I must put the voices down
Before they speak
And again make me weak
Their evil whispers I must drown
Society it has no place for me
They do not care to understand
For in their eyes
People like me must die
And i'll oblige by my own hand
