At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn

Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned

Four walls just staring at me is what I figure

I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger

My mother's always stressing me saying that I ain't living right

But I ain't going out of This Life without a fight!!!

See, everytime my eyes close

I start sweating, and blood starts coming out my nose

It's somebody watching me behind my back'

But I don't know who it is, so I'm watching him back

I can see him when I'm deep in the covers

When I awake I don't see him or no other

He owns a black hat like I own

A black suit and a cane like my own

Some might say "take a chillpill

But forget that, there's someone trying to kill me

I’m sitting how I sit wrapped up warm when the wind blows

Every twenty seconds got me peeping out my window

Investigating my home for traps

Checking my telephone for taps

I'm staring at the woman on the corner

It's messed up when your mind is playing tricks on you!!!

Day by day it's more impossible to cope

I feel like I'm smoking dope

Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous

Every Sunday morning I'm in Church service

Praying for forgiveness

And trying to find an exit out of this business

I know the Lord Above is looking at me

But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy

I often drift when I drive

Having fatal thoughts of suicide

Bang and get it over with

And then I'm worry-free, but that's daftness

I got a little boy to look after

And if I died then my child would be a bastard

I had a woman down with me

But to me it seemed like she was down to get me

She helped me out in this business

But to me she was just another evil witch

Now she's back with her mother

Now I'm realizing that I love her

Now I'm feeling lonely

My mind is playing tricks on me!!!
