Voices In My Head

Hello, is anybody home?
I’ve been talking to myself alone
Tell me what I need to know
To clear the interference on my radio
​
I need somebody to guide me
But who can I trust?
I don’t have enough experience
​
I’m hearing lines
In voices not my own
Inside my mind
I’m never alone
It’s by design
It’s the great unknown
The voices in my head are not my own
​
No I haven’t told a single soul
And I swear you’re mine and mine alone
You’re my dirty secret little mind-control
Baby lie to me or let me go
​
I’m sick of this situation
But what can be done?
I’m the only one not having fun
I’m hearing lines
In voices not my own
Inside my mind
I’m never alone
It’s all the places I’ve gone
All the people I’ve known
The voices in my head are not my own
​
Sometimes inside the commotion
I find pauses profound
I’ve a particular notion
The quiet kills me quicker
The quiet kills me quicker than the sound
