We all have voices in our heads that try to shatter us

Voices


On this weathered world that  is my mind lies a poison well

That kills whatever pride I have inside of being myself

I try so hard to tell myself to stop putting myself through this hell

But every single time I fail, I have become an empty shell

I am slowly giving in to the poltergeists beneath my skin

The siren's singing inside of my head have weighed me down like lead

These voices never relent

Hungry vultures circle overhead, waiting for my death

These forest fires I've fed have me gasping for every breath

The black widows crawl outside to play with their dying prey

And I pray to god to help me find a way to escape

I am slowly giving in to the poltergeists beneath my skin

The siren's singing inside of my head have weighed me down like lead

These voices never relent

Every single day I play the game of living through today

to tell tomorrow another small part of me died yesterday

With every wicked word they say this current carries me further away

It lays to waste my faith and places me in a state of cold decay

Now here I am, in the wake of a category five grenade hurricane

All that remain are wastelands of rain created by my self-hate

Can somebody save me from this place? I am on the edge, about to break

Erase this pain and replace my shame, these voices won't alleviate

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, slowing fading into the dark

Isolated speck of pale light, such a miserable sight

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, side by side we fade into the dark


I am slowly giving in to the poltergeists beneath my skin

(Worthless, failure, freak of nature)

The siren's singing inside of my head have weighed me down like lead

(Outcast, disaster, pathetic creature)

These voices never relent
