CARL: All in the Mind

A blackness drifts through my head;
nothing but silence, a cold dark night;
a single whisper could wake the dead.
I can feel them crawling, menacingly
a crash of thunder in my mind
Please help me, my team, my family...
I can no longer stand the pain
My sanity is but a flickering flame
My mind has become a blackened stain...

That is what I feel.
That is what I see.
That is what I hear.

My fellow troopers have no clue
of the hate I feel every day.
My mind has become split in two...
All because of the mind games we play.

Can it just be
all in my mind?
