The speaking voice inside my head



You once asked, if l fear death.
I replied " We aren't escaping here alive"
Words which makes me think,
Human race is just a nightmare.

You asked again, what my fear is
I replied the speaking voice inside my head.
For this battle only I can't win nor fight.
Some days I would sit to listen,
Listen to the words of the voice.

Some days I would fight for silence,
Cos he made me trade my sanity.
You asked, if I have a wish or ever had one.
I thought of none, but total silence
From the speaking voice inside my head.

Cos I have always had to argue inside me
All I seek for is total control to my mind
And everlasting silence in my most loudest
place.

Cos he only makes me to regret,
Why I was given life.
But I can only have total silence, when
That thousand nights befalls my soul.
