Sometimes I see frightening things.
Things with wings that make me scream.
I don't call and I don't ring.
Left alone I face these things.
You say the mind's a wondrous place
Of miracles that taste like grapes.
But I don't think it's all that great
As I sit here and hallucinate.
I pull the shades. I lock the doors.
I don't go outside much anymore.
I think I gone a bit insane.
I feel my head's not in the game.
And if you were to ask my name.
I used to know but now I can't say.
