The Hope And The Hunger

Woke up early this morning and crawled out of my bed
Had to see someone about these voices in my head
Went outside you know my brain felt just the same
I tried to run and scream, but the voices still remained

Can you help me find my way?
You know I needed someone
Then the voices said:

"All the hop and the hunger, baby, lies behind your eyes
There's a box I've locked myself inside
All the hope and the hunger, baby, doesn't make it right
Cause I'm locked inside you now."

A chemical induced psychosis is what they said
Or a gene abberation finally went to my head
I've just got to think of simething -- I don't care
I won't have a padded room be my final jail

Can you help me find my way?
You know I reached out for someone
Again the voices said

Can't you see there's something gnawing on my head?
Won't you end my misery before they come again
