II. Voices |
'Love, just don’t stare' |
He used to say to me |
Every Sunday morning |
The spider in the window |
The angel in the pool |
The old man takes the poison |
Now the widow makes the rules |
'So speak, I’m right here' |
She used to say to me |
Not a word, not a word |
Judas on the ceiling |
The Devil in my bed |
I guess Easter’s never coming |
So I’ll just wait inside my head |
Like a scream but sort of silent |
Living off my nightmares |
Voices repeating me |
«Feeling threatened? |
We reflect your hopes and fears.» |
Voices discussing me |
«Others steal your thoughts |
They’re not confined within your mind.» |
Thought disorder, dream control |
Now they read my mind on the radio |
But where was the Garden of Eden? |
I feel elated, I feel depressed |
Sex is death, Death is sex |
Says it right here on my Crucifix |
Like a scream but sort of silent |
Living off my nightmares |
Voices protecting me |
«Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees» |
Voices rejecting me |
«Others steal your thoughts |
They’re not confined to your own mind» |
«I don’t want to be here, cause of my |
Suffering, cause of my illness |
Only love is worth having, only |
Love is what matters, loving every |
People on equal terms |
«You've got to know who you’re |
Dealin' with because, like a stranger |
A-heh, just might come in through |
Here with a gun… and then, what |
Would you do? |
(Heh.) |
Everything is immaterial |
'n' you know that reality is immaterial |
This is not reality |
I’m kneeling on the floor |
Staring at the wall |
Like the spider in the window |
I wish that I could speak |
Is there fantasy in refuge? |
God in politicians? |
Should I turn on my religion? |
These demons in my head tell me to |
I’m lying here in bed |
Swear my skin is inside out |
Just another Sunday morning |
Seen my diary on the newsstand |
Seems we’ve lost the truth to quicksand |
It’s a shame no one is praying |
Cause these voices in my head keep saying |
«Love, just don’t stare |
Reveal the Word when you’re supposed to» |
Withdrawn and introverted |
Infectiously perverted |
«Being laughed at and confused |
Keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay» |
Maybe I’m just Cassandra fleeting |
Twentieth century Icon bleeding |
Willing to risk Salvation |
To escape from isolation |
I’m witness to redemption |
Heard you speak but never listened |
Can you rid me of my secrets? |
Deliver us from Darkness? |
Voices repeating me |
«Feeling threatened? |
We reflect your hopes and fears.» |
Voices discussing me |
Don’t expect your own Messiah |
This neverworld which you desire |
Is only in your mind |
