I can hear a voice through the static,
 white noise and blinding light
 My mind is so erratic,
 and my thoughts are not my own
 I can see a face in the mirror,
 staring back at me with bloodshot eyes
 An expression filled with mounting horror,
 as I start to realise
 There is a voice inside me, no one can hear,
 that speaks to me in tongues
 Like a devil on my shoulder, it whispers in my ear,
 telling me I don't belong
 No one knows the secrets I've buried,
 in the darkest corners of my mind
 Or the heavy burden I've carried, for so long along
 If they knew the depth of my weakness,
 or the darkness that I've tried to hide
 Would they see, all the agony, I've locked away inside
 So many secrets, I've hidden for so long,
 locked tight without a key
 Each one a weakness,
 a symptom of the sickness,
 that lives inside of me
 Come take the ego trip, step inside and see
 Take a chance, and lose your grip,
 on the self, on the I, on the me
 So be careful what you wish for,
 you just might lose yourself
 Giving up, a little too much,
 slowly becoming someone else
 Some words are better left unspoken,
 and better left unsaid
 Some doors should never be opened,
 some doors can never be closed again
 Now I'm nothing but a voice in the static,
 lost forever in the blinding light
 My mind, consumed by panic,
 my senses overthrown
 Though I see a face in the mirror,
 it's an image that I do not recognise
 I recoil in wordless terror,
 for the face I see, it is not mine
 This inner tempest, has overwhelmed my senses,
 and left me almost blind
 It is relentless, and I have no defences,
 against the demons that live within my mind
 Come take the ego trip, step inside and see
 Take a chance, and lose your grip,
 on the self, on the I, on the me
