VOICES
I hear voices in my head
They echo inside as I get off my bed
They say don't you do it, don't you try
Cause if you try, you're gonna die
Sometimes these voices tend to drain
Tend to cause pain
Tend to drive me insane
They often show up then disappear
Leaving me with a feeling of despair
My mind once fixed, now broken beyond repair
I wait for that one light to spark
To spark and bring me out of the dark
But as I continue to wait
I wonder, oh I wonder while hoping one day
That I'll hear those voices in my head say
You can do it; if you try
And that day I'll give an enthusiastic sigh
As I kiss those voices in my head goodbye.
