    Bewitched 5
    *
    I'm in a hospital, a single ward
    I'm tied to the bed like a lunatic
    The ward is isolated and secured
    The steel door opens the light comes in
    -
    Wifey is with a beautiful woman in white overcoat, she must be my doctor
    "Hi sweetie you're awake!"
    "Yeesss I'mmm awakeee darlingggg"
    -
    Said a voice with so much baritone
    Angry trying to get out of the restrictions
    That's not me, I can't be that sarcastic
    I'm suppressed somewhere inside me
    -
    "Chicco, Chicco can you hear me?"
    I can hear the doctor I'm trying to talk
    My voice can't come out I'm in agony
    "He can'ttt hearrr youuu he'sss minee"
    -
    My God what is happening to me?
    Why wifey is acting like she cares
    I still remember everything, I'm awake
    I still want to hold my head but I can't
    -
    The thing is still feeding on my brains
    "I'm Dr Spacek I'm your therapist"
    What? What can she do I'm bewitched
    "There's something inside you, you need an exorcism."
    -
    "He'sss minee" said the demon's bass
    He's my utter ego I'm buried inside him
    "Exorcism?!" I can speak but noone hears
    I'm in a Sepulchre but I'm not dead yet
