As a final project for my SFU Semester in Dialogue program, I was allowed to make a song based on one of the class reading: The Quiet Room by Lori Schiller & Amanda Bennett. The book is written about the life of someone living with schizophrenia.

Inez (chorus):
I dont know what happened to my soul
What happened to my life
I lived and lost control

All I hear is these voices in my head
Telling me Im better dead
Slit my wrists
Time to end it now

I dont know
What happened to my soul
I feel so cold
So lost so alone

I gotta keep praying itll be over soon
Cant control my moods
So Im sitting in a quiet room

E.V.:
Im about graduate, eradicate, and pull my weight
Whatchu say, look out my window but I cant see a face
Turn around, I cannot worry I gotta study now
Taking my fate, finding a place and moving downtown
I guess I get deeply depressed, seriously upset
But when I get excited son its honestly the best
And I think I just need some rest, need a my bed, I didnt get breakfast
My psyche slowly going insane, please call my psychologist
Ring, ring, pick up the phone,
Dont leave me alone, its more then you know
No! No! please!
This is not a joke, I know that its 4:00a
Ok Ill take my medications call you in the morning
I never told him about the voices and how theyre gaining control and
Keep hoping from job to job, stop, locked all up in my thoughts
Couldnt control my voice or the voices telling me that Im all talk
Pop pop another pill like the double shots from double glock
Two little bottles in my hand, call the cops, Im caught in system shock

Chorus

E.V.:
All I wanted to do in life
Was impress my dad
So in the hospital hype
I told him it was not that bad
At home I threw in my head phones
Music uplifting my soul
I felt less alone as I sang along
I crank Lupe and Bone at a slower tempo
To calm down these psychos in both my temples
Four of them in total hate my family and me
I crank mo murder so loud that I cannot hear them speak
But they dont ever leave me until I meet cocaine
Gone away for many moment but then they are back again
Now Im in the shower with the shakes and my four friends want me dead
Didnt think that my life would end like this,

Inez & Justin, Marion (cello) Chorus

BattleKatt:
At night I cant sleep, I toss and turn
Visions that fill my head, saying in hell Ill burn
I yearn for some peace in my mind my soul
So I turn to the streets, to that substance uncontrolled
To realize the voices drown to the flicker of the sounds
But get louder and more profound whenever I come down
As I grab the illicit and get higher and higher
The visions became more vivid as the blade I admired

Skitzmantis:
Like a fatal wound, Im dieing inside
Looks like its just another lonely night,
Howd it come this far, whats this place
So much confusion that I must face
Day to day, trying to escape, not from my mind
But the cage to wake,
Every time I try to sleep, keep waking up,
Cut my arm, cause Im shaken up,
All the blood that I must consume,
Wondering why Im in the Quiet Room
Need to get away, how many more days
Are you going to keep me in this place?
No Food for hours, not a bed to sleep
Try to talk, but I cannot speak, so weak,
So lonely show me, hope, I cant cope
So confined cant cut the rope!
Five Days went by couldnt think couldnt talk
Medication so high, I was in a constant shock,
Body so lame couldnt even walk.
And the chambers locked.
I thought Id never again see the light of day
But I prayed; now its all gone away
No more voices, no more delusion,
No more craziness no more confusion.

Inez & Justin, Marion (cello) Chorus

...

Right when I heard "Voices in my head telling me i'm better dead" I stopped listening.

Docter told me i'm skitzo.

But my voices never have once told me i'm better dead. >_>

[halidina]

@IXArkAngelXI No problem. This song is based on the book, and that's simply what she heard.

[miimuse]

I'm a french person so i'm really sorry for my language mistakes. I've disvored this song in one hour and i've download it in few minutes ago.

I can't tell you how i fell in this moment but i'm verry sad. This song is so true and your song is really beautiful and powerful. Every lyrics is a blow in full heart.

Thanks for them, thanks for that, thanks for everybody who knows persons with this disease.

[kotaroizumaki1]

@IXArkAngelXI Then lucky you, I have them daily trying to get me to kill myself or something...

[DarkenedClarity]

I have schizophrenia sometimes I feel that I have a hard life but there are always others out there that need help more then me. I have meds that I will NEVER stop they keep me going with out people saying I seem crazy

[schizobipolarjoe]

straight from the heart!, much love...... I live with schizophrenia, manic depression, and aspergers syndrome................ this hits hard.......

[DarkSidedAngel20]

I live with paranoid schizophrenia, I have my whole life. I am a college student who often feel alone and isolated from those around me, even from my friends and family. When I came across this video, not only could I relate to everything in it, most importantly it lets you know you not alone. I thank you for that.

[andylarsen]

I live with schizophrenia, the lyrics hit me very hard, and made me feel like im not the only one... alot of people have this, and we all have to fight..

btw. the songs title describes everything...

[aslamvids]

[Jason4923]

[xxyoyo1]

[LightningAndHarold]

i have shizophrenia,got this voice who wont leave me alone,constantly berating me...she has never suggested death yet,just contemplated what it would be like if i did...this is such a beutiful song

[YoungDThaG]

I hear voices everyday. I struggle with 12 of them and have befriended 4 of them. Im glad I found this song. I have the book at home. I also see faces of all 16 of my voices. After reading the comments of people who also have schizophrenia, reading the book, and listening to this song its makes me feel better to know that there are people who have the same problem as me.
