Falling into their trap again
They tell me it'll make me feel better
and happier
But what do you they know
Do they even know what happiness is
They spend their ever second
Killing me
Tricking me
Lying to me
Using me
At least now they're just voices
They no longer take over my body
But they say things
They tell me what to do
And they say
If I don't do it
They'll take over my body again
But I know
I can't let that happen
I can't let them do that
Hell will never suck me in again
And I'll never go back there
It's horrid
And lonely
