He saw flames in the department store

He tried to get the people to the safety of the door

There was no fire the voices were telling him what to do

You could see from his face he needs someone

To help pull him through



The voices are back they're telling him what to do

The voices are back they're telling him what to do



Ripping through the fabric between his world and the real

He's trying to protect you but

The knife will know that your flesh meets steel

Took him to an institution

And they helped the voices go away

But he didn't have the right set of papers

So they put this boy in jail



The voices are back they're telling him what to do

The voices are back they're telling him what to do



Six weeks turned to twelve

He was locked up for twenty-three hours a day

The warden found him in his cell

His only crime was that he was ill



The voices are back they're telling him what to do

The voices are back they're telling him what to do
