lyrics

The voices in my head speak the emotions I won’t feel
The fire hydrant was a runaway nun
Tells me of St Sebastian, I will die as a martyr too
Every sinful thought is the pain you can shun

Bridge 1
JFK, assassinate! Over the school intercom
Whispering my name
I know that I’m to blame
And never speak for shame

Verse 2
The voices in my head speak, I am mute instead
Talk to me I stare straight ahead
They start calling me zombie, about me talk all the time
Make me feel real I don’t mind

Bridge 2
With my shades on protecting me, I shield you in your innocence
I burn my forehead red
Putting out cigarettes
The Devil marks an X

Verse 3
The voices in my head speak the emotions I won’t feel
A voice told me to build the human being
Hospital staff disapprove but it speaks for me when I’m mute
I sculpt the death and set the martyr free

Bridge 2

Middle 8
The trauma I want to acknowledge
I will no longer pretend
Reclaim the voices and see them
Through the healing lens
