The voices they whisper
Lies disguised as truths
The voices they scream
Wrongs instead of rights

They come in the night
With nightmares instead of dreams
They come in the day
With panic instead of calmness

They come into light
When i'm forced to speak
They stay in the dark
When no one cares

They can be forced back
As long as people are near
They come forth again
When I am alone

They tell me to stay quiet about them
Like those who raised me
They tell me that im only in the way if i tell
The way I grew up to believe

I want them to stop
To leave me
But they never do
As they told me that they would never leave 

I want to live free of them
But I don't know how
I want to leave
I want to go
