Self Portrait - Ellis Paul

I tried to frame my own self portrait 
into a three-minute one-act play 
But I'm a carnival of voices 
it's hard to pin me down that way 
without my subconscious saying 
"I'm not in love with you,
but I'd be willing to make a change.
It's these profound fits of sunshine 
that bring on subsequently rain." 

"If I could make a suggestion -"
I say, `Oh, this should be nice'
"The middle ground is partly sunny,
Now take my good advice,
nobody's out here throwing rice yet 
But me and the voices inside of your head 
all agree..." 

and I say, `Since we're all here talking -
You think I'm afraid of you?
Well, I'm afraid I think you're right...
I've never been good at crowd control 
Your voices keep me up all night' `Now, I'm no psychiatrist 
though I'm known for Freudian slips 
I'd like to thank my Id and Ego 
for the roller coaster trip 
and if my memory will permit me 
I'd like to remember to keep you voices 
out of my head...'
