Billy and the voices
I'm pretty unemotional today
though hellish dreams coat the mental scenery.
Its a passing phase-
or so they say.
The voices, they like sharp objects
and enjoy when I play with them.
Scarred fingers seem pretty,
its a matter of taste-
or so they say.
Its annoying, this apathy
when the rage boils in the background.
No one can hear the sound of hate
or so they say.
I lost the bet;
the voices said that my girlfriend
would bleed like a running faucet.
Needless to say, I didn't believe them
but there she is, staining the carpet
Mom won't be happy.
Its a passing phase-
or so they say.
I'm not convinced.

i think you totally lost your marbles miss...
its like that scene in The Patriot where the battleship explodes and the court lady claps, laughing, saying she enjoys the fireworks.
"oooo"
it's quite entertaining, the 'or so they say' refrain. but the opening needs work. imo.
It's annoying
Pretty macabre!
