lyrics
They say it’s true, but I’m refusing to believe I’ll never be with you,
If only I could make them leave and run away with you,
But I don’t know how so for now they stay,
I’m seeing these strangers all around, I want to see you,
But something holds me down, I’m being patient,
And you’re always on my mind,
Because I’m heading voices in my head,
I don’t remember taking meds,
And I’m just lying in my bed,
Trying to make out what they said,
They don’t believe me, but our love is real because I
Hear your voice inside my head,
You eat my thoughts until you’re fed,
Is this a dream or am I dead?
Or is it something I just read?
The raven is calling evermore, your heart is beating,
Underneath my floor the yellow paper, keeps us from going free,
I’d treat you a million times better than the treatment here,
I’m crazy about you and you should know my dear,
You’ll always be real to me
You got me going insane for you,
Am I just naïve?
They’re tearing into my brain for you,
Haven’t found you but still I believe,
Because I’m hearing voices in my head,
I’m hanging on my final thread,
And I’m just lying in my bed,
Trying to make out what they said,
They don’t believe me but I know you’re real,
Because I hear your voice inside my head,
You eat my thoughts until you’re fed,
Is this a dream or am I dead?
It’s real life that I really dread.
If only I could make them leave and run away with you,
But I don’t know how so for now they stay,
I’m seeing these strangers all around, I want to see you,
But something holds me down, I’m being patient,
And you’re always on my mind,
Because I’m heading voices in my head,
I don’t remember taking meds,
And I’m just lying in my bed,
Trying to make out what they said,
They don’t believe me, but our love is real because I
Hear your voice inside my head,
You eat my thoughts until you’re fed,
Is this a dream or am I dead?
Or is it something I just read?
The raven is calling evermore, your heart is beating,
Underneath my floor the yellow paper, keeps us from going free,
I’d treat you a million times better than the treatment here,
I’m crazy about you and you should know my dear,
You’ll always be real to me
You got me going insane for you,
Am I just naïve?
They’re tearing into my brain for you,
Haven’t found you but still I believe,
Because I’m hearing voices in my head,
I’m hanging on my final thread,
And I’m just lying in my bed,
Trying to make out what they said,
They don’t believe me but I know you’re real,
Because I hear your voice inside my head,
You eat my thoughts until you’re fed,
Is this a dream or am I dead?
It’s real life that I really dread.
