The voices in my head
They don't stop
By day and night
"Conversation"
With each othersDisagree with me
I'm just the vessel
Who can't restThey don't stop
Has me running mad
Some only think in riddles
That I have to solve
They aren't giving me a choiceCause they are the key
The key that unlocks
What my mind does try to hideIt's been nights since I been able to relax and rest my R and R's gone
While the voices did comfort me
at first
like an old songThat I knew the notes so well
That I could play
A song that I use to love to sing alongBut now it's so insistent
Boggling me to insanity
Too much
I'm losing my rationalityBecause they got minds all of their own
That oppose my ownNo power have I
Can't silence them at all
What do I have to do to get them to stop
I criedAnd the day goes on
How they do roar
Like the beast
Put the lions to shameI'm just a mere being
With roots with the Earth
Who begs
To rest
I'm pleading please
They got to stop
I can't go on
Not like thisI'm seeping deep into the abyss
My voice gone to the windTo gain the control
With the power
Of the voices
That aren't my ownIs it my fate to lose my soul
To the voices
To gain back my control?
