I like to fall asleep
So that voice will let me be
And when the shadows are no more
It’s only me knocking on my door

When the darkness turns to light
That voice begins to talk inside
That voice controls me
It can’t be stopped

So I stay
Locked up
Locked up
Locked up

My own eyes bend reality
What was a simple life
Has become insanity
