Cracked

I've been losing my mind for almost a week.

I hear the voices shriek inside my head,

but voices come and go, my skull has a leak.

I've found a new form of hide-and-seek,

and I'm cutting myself like cutting gingerbread.

I've been losing my mind for almost a week.

I'm talking to spiders talking in Greek.

I'm a violent shade of purple, blue then red,

but colors come and go, my skull has a leak.

The floors are bare, the mirror is sleek,

I've stared at the mirror until my eyes bled.

I've been losing my mind for almost a week.

I know men with fangs, capes and widow's peaks.

I've kissed Eve Black, and she I will wed,

but Eve comes and goes, my skull has a leak.

I've left pieces in bathrooms, bedrooms and streets,

I've swallowed all the aspirin - hands clenching my head.

I've been losing my mind for almost a week,

but minds come and go, my skull has a leak.
