Voices in my head,
Are you all dead?
You’re supposed to warn me,
Not to do anything stupid.
Instead you desert me,
Just when I need it.
And then I do what I most fear,
Speak before I think, putting in danger all that I hold dear.
Before you know it,
The earth has from under me shifted;
Shifted so that I am buried,
Deep into an abyss towards which I had for long drifted.
But it’s your fault, oh voices,
For not warning me.
For not alerting me to the dangers that lurk beyond,
For not telling me anew,
How crazy things can get,
If I don’t listen to you.
Voices in my head,
You used to tell me all;
You used to remind me,
Of things great and small.
And yet now you are silent,
Silent as a lamb,
Leaving me to fight,
This battle damned.
Oh voices in my head,
It’s true I cursed you;
Asked you to go away,
But you took it literally, and silently faded away.
Into the night you’re gone,
But my pain hasn’t receded;
And all that could go wrong
Without you, has in coming true succeeded.
Voices in my head,
Now I’m paying for not listening to you,
But it is your fault,
For I loved, and you didn’t stop me too.
