Paranoia (Drugs)


Everybody is whispering

It's making me confused

I don't know if I'm going mad

Or it's the drugs that I've just used

I haven't been to bed for days

I'm always wide awake

My body doesn't know what to do

And my bones do really ache

I have become so paranoid

Suspicious and alert

I accuse my partner of  cheating

And I'm scared of getting hurt

My brain is playing games with me

I'm unsure what to believe

If I don't stop accusing

Then my partner's gonna leave

I keep on seeing shadows

They are everywhere I go

My body craves for sleep

I should go to bed, I know

Paranoia has grown

I no longer feel alone

I feel somebody is watching me

Through the camera on my phone

It's finally taken over

And I'm not feeling great

I think it's time I seen a shrink

To fix my mental state.
