There's something deep within I can't get rid of it   Something inside me causing horror in my head   I'm a stranger to myself   Don't know what I'm doing   Know what I'm doing      Tortured spirit haunting me   Playing with my sanity   Taking over steal my soul   I'm in a mental stranglehold      Don't want to share myself with you or someone else   What kind are you to split my mind and bend my will   Just get out of my life   Now why don't you leave me   why don't you free me      [Chorus]      And when my better part has gone   My alter ego still lives on   we're two persons in one   I can't break the bonds      Tortured spirit haunting me   Playing with my sanity   Taking over steal my soul   I'm in a mental stranglehold   Tortured spirit leave me be   Now tell me what you want from me   Taking over steal my soul   Tortured spirit don't do it oh no
