lyrics

I hear the voices...voices in my head...I hear the voices, I hear the voices, I hear the voices...in my head. Just kill two people, just kill two people.
(Verse 1) Some people say I'm too religious / Some say I worship the devil /The truth is / I'm just on a higher level / My lyrics be condensed to make sense / I sound insane / That's why doctors be stickin' and pokin' / At my brain / I got alotta issues / That stem from my psychosis / That's why I'm medicated / With very heavy doses of / Drugs and liquids / they checkin' my piss / It's just too hard to take / Please give me a break / The room starts spinnin' / My hands start to shake / I don't know how to act / My arms got needle tracks / Last thing I remember / Are all the lights goin' black
(Hook) I'm sick and tired / Tired and sick / Tired of the games / Sick of the shit / I'm sick and tired / Tired and sick / Tired of dealing with / Mental illness
I hear the voices in my head...I hear the voices in my head...I hear the voices in my head...I hear the voices
(Verse 2) Nurses come to take my blood / In the middle of the night / Wake me up the wrong way / Got me ready to fight / I'm put in leather shackles / I start to go berserk / They put me in a straight jacket / Now my arms don't work / I can't move I can't run / And this just makes me mad / And on top of all that / My nose itches real bad / I can't take no more / Someone has to save / I'm like Dr. Bruce Banner / Don't make me angry / I've had enough / I've had my fill / Everyone just chill / Cause' if I start to click / I just might kill
(Hook)
(Verse 3) They got me hooked up / To tubes and machines / X-rays cat scans / And EKGs / They call Dr. Strong / To put me in the quiet room / Givin' me lithium / To change my mood / Schizophrenic episodes / Compulsive excessive / Homicidal tendencies / And manic depressive / I got a bad temper / So often sedated the / Every single day / I'm over medicated / I'm thinkin' of escape / Cause' I'm always paranoid / Blamin' shit on my mom / While they quote Sigmund Freud / They took away my belt / So I gotta hold up my pants / They took away my shoelaces / So now I can't dance / Everyday in group sessions / I talk about my problems / But doctors don't care / Or even try and solve them / They don't care what you say / As long as you pay / And it's the same old shit / Day after day
(Hook) Cause' I'm sick and tired / Tired and sick / Tired of the pressure / Sick of the shit / I'm sick and tired / Tired and sick / Tired of dealing with / Mental illness
Can you hear the voices? They're all around you...the voices...
