VOICES

I HEAR THESE VOICES IN MY HEAD

THEY TELL ME I AM NO GOOD

I AM ASHAMED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THEM

BUT WONDER IF I SHOULD?

 

THESE VOICES HAVE STARTED TO CONSUME ME

THEY TELL ME WHAT TO DO

THE LOUDEST ONE REMINDS ME THAT I AM A FAILURE

AND I AM STARTING TO REALIZE IT IS TRUE

 

I WANT THESE VOICES TO GO AWAY

BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM QUIT

THE ONE REMINDS ME THAT I AM WEAK

I START TO AGREE, I ADMIT

 

I TAKE MY PILLS ACCORDINGLY

AND NOTHING QUITES THEM DOWN

I TELL MYSELF TO TAKE THEM ALL

SO I MAY SLEEP SOUND

 

I NEVER REALIZED HOW I'D HURT MY FAMILY

AS MUCH AS I DO NOW

SEEING THEM THIS WAY MAKES ME SORRY

FOR BREAKING MY SOLOM VOW

 

I WANT TO TELL THEM I LOVE THEM

BUT NO LONGER HAVE THE CHANCE

I WISHED I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM

AS I DANCED MY LAST DANCE

 

THE VOICES ARE NO LONGER THERE

I LOOK AROUND TO SEE

I NOW HAVE ANOTHER BATTLE TO FIGHT

FOR ALL ETERNITY
