Voices

I'm lyin' in bed and I can't stay still The voices in my head ramble on They mumble words until I can see the break of day But the sunlight doesn't even try to fade them away Of all the tiny little things I've ever said They can't ring true with anyone but in my head They are amplified, amplified across the sky Transmitted to those chosen few I've left behind I can hear them talking I can hear them calling my name But there's something about it all that feels the same When you're trying to hold it all with your two hands And you're looking for the strength to stand Up to the voices, of the ones who say you can't Stand up and walk into the light Though the dark is where it's safe to hide Away from the voices of the ones who say you can't Whispered words of a songs first verse A broken melody and the lyrics just slightly reversed At a time when I've had it all figured out They come to me, they hold me down as I'm trying to shout To the world that I finally got it made But as the moon grabs hold of the sun, the light quickly fades It fades into the night and washes out with the tide It's left to ruin for somebody else in the world to find I can hear them talking I can hear them calling my name But there's something about it all that feels the same When you're trying to hold it all with your two hands And you're looking for the strength to stand Up to the voices, of the ones who say you can't Stand up and walk into the light Though the dark is where it's hard to find Your way from the voices of the ones who say you can't I can hear them talking I can hear them calling my name But there's something about it that feels the same When you're trying to hold it all with your two hands And you're looking for the strength to stand Up to the voices, of the ones who say you can't Stand up and walk into the light Though the dark is where it's hard to find Your way to the voices of the ones who say you can
