Alone in my head
Don’t leave me alone in my head
[Verse]
Like a child inside a closet
Locked up for days at a time.
I often feel claustrophobic
When I’m alone with my mind.
[Pre chorus]
I hear the echoes of my conscience.
It’s a voice tormenting my soul.
The critical words of my father
Raking me over the coals.
[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave me alone.
Alone inside my head.
[Verse]
I’m terrified of the darkness.
Afraid of what I might do.
I sometimes feel suicidal.
When I’m alone in my womb.
[Pre chorus]
I hear the crying from my mother.
As I sit helplessly nearby.
The malignant growth of my hatred
refuses to let me cry.
[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave me alone.
Alone inside my head.
[Verse]
Like a child inside a closet
Locked up for days at a time.
I often feel claustrophobic
When I’m alone with my mind.
[Pre chorus]
I hear the echoes of my conscience.
It’s a voice tormenting my soul.
The critical words of my father
Raking me over the coals.
[Chorus]
Don’t leave me alone.
Don’t leave me alone.
Alone inside my head.
Bridge
There’s a monster inside, a monster inside
Whispering words like suicide.
[Tag}
Don’t leave me alone, don’t leave me alone
With the thoughts in my head.

That's a good one Carroll! Real psychological thriller, and the music fits like a glove.
I like these lines:
I often feel claustrophobic
When I’m alone with my mind.
and I'm not suggesting you change them, but how much worse would it be NOT to be alone in your mind?!
And this line: "The critical words of my father" just implies a whole childhood.
There’s a monster inside, a monster inside
Whispering words like suicide.
Really powerful lines there!
Excellent song. One I wish I'd written.

Wow this is impressive stuff my friend. Real smasher. Wondering how it has done over the period of time since it has been released because it pretty much sounds like an Alternative Rock hit like Papa Roach, Blink 182 and bands that sound like that.
You have a huge range as well and a clear timbre in the higher registers.
Great stuff!

At your best with this one Carroll, raising the bar again! Very powerful but done in your unique style that drags you in before spitting you out exhausted.
I'm sure there are many writers who wished they'd written this one, another to be proud of.
Take a bow,
Sid
