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
