[English]

The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray

'Cause I'm spinning like a carousel, circling the drain

Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don't wanna feel the pain

But that is all I got for now, I don't wanna talk about it

The voices in my head keep on begging me to stay

If I pull the trigger now, then the demons go away

And I know my time is coming, so there ain't no time to waste

So that is all I got for now, I don't wanna talk about it

The voices in my head keep telling me to choose a side

It's Heaven or Hell, like it's do or die

I'm a sad boy, you know better

Please don't make this last forever

The voices in my head keep telling me I'm not okay

It's feeling like a hurricane in my brain

Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather

Please don't make this last forever

The voices in my head keep on telling me I'm gonna die

And I don't wanna talk about the drama, I'm traumatized

They're telling me I'm fine, but we both know that's a fucking lie

I'm losing my mind, but I don't wanna talk about it

The voices in my head keep giving me the worst advice

Kamikaze crash like a suicide

I'm a lost boy, you know better

Please don't make this last forever

The voices in my head keep telling me that I'm insane

And maybe I'm a little bit, that won't change

Dark clouds, hard times, bad weather

Please don't make this last forever

The voices in my head keep on telling me I'm gonna die

And I don't wanna talk about the drama, I'm traumatized

They're telling me I'm fine, but we both know that's a fucking lie

I'm losing my mind, but I don't wanna talk about it

The voices in my head keep on telling me I'm cursed

I'm paranoid, I don't wanna make it any worse

We're all gonna die, but first things first

I'ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt

The voices in my head keep on telling me I'm cursed

I'm paranoid, I don't wanna make it any worse

We're all gonna die, but first things first

I'ma take the world with me when they put me in the dirt, move

...

Move, voices in my head are telling me I'm cursed

I'm paranoid, I don't wanna make it any worse

We're all gonna die, first things first

I'll take the world with me when they put me in the-

The voices in my head keep on telling me I'm gonna die

And I don't wanna talk about the drama, I'm traumatized

They're telling me I'm fine, but we both know that's a fucking lie

I'm losing my mind, but I don't wanna talk about it

The voices in my head keep on telling me to pray

'Cause I'm spinning like a carousel, circling the drain

Hit the bottom of the bottle, I don't wanna feel the pain

I'm losing my mind, but I don't wanna talk about it
