Voices Within

Been strugglin' lately Can't sleep, stress been drivin' me crazy These thoughts keep racing And I don't know how to get them to slow down Been strugglin' lately Can't sleep, stress been drivin' me crazy These thoughts keep racing And I don't know how to get them to slow down Here I come again, it's time to grab the pen Scribble on my notepad as I contemplate this shit What if they don't like it? What if it don't fit? What if it's not to their standards What if, what if, what if I spend so much time thinkin Try to come up with a reason Constantly runnin' from all my inner demons That I miss my chance, and I miss my season See, the voices in my head keep tellin' me to quit They say I'll never make it, just another dead end And honestly, I almost gave in Laid into the excuses as my mind caved in I'm my own worst critic till the very end So keep that in mind before you run your lips Cause there's nothin' you can say that's worse Than what I've told myself within That's as real as it gets Been strugglin' lately Can't sleep, stress been drivin' me crazy These thoughts keep racing And I don't know how to get them to slow down Been strugglin' lately Can't sleep, stress been drivin' me crazy These thoughts keep racing And I don't know how to get them to slow down I've been out here tryin' to focus They're tryin' feed on me like some locust Attracted to my energy, but they can never rid of me Cause I'm a reflection of themselves mentally Simple chemistry, human nature's recipe Self-doubt mixed with a bit of anxiety Sometimes it gets hard to breathe Feels like there's no progress to be seen You've just gotta take it back, look at your past If there was no future, how'd it ever pass? If you did it once, you can do it again Try not to dwell on the voices within Sayin' you're worthless and you won't be shit Take that energy and transmutate it If you wanna make a change, then you gotta Switch And tell yourself this is as real as it gets Been strugglin' lately Can't sleep, stress been drivin' me crazy These thoughts keep racing And I don't know how to get them to slow down Been strugglin' lately Can't sleep, stress been drivin' me crazy These thoughts keep racing And I don't know how to get them to slow down
