“Voices in the Room”
By The Word with Tobie
(Dark west coast beat, eerie choir pads, heavy bass, old-school bounce with cinematic tension)
[INTRO — whispered layered voices]
Fear…
Anger…
Depression…
Which voice you feedin’?
⸻
[HOOK — Cypress Hill inspired bounce]
Mind gone crazy, voices in the room,
Dark clouds movin’, feel the pressure doom,
One side rage, one side barely breathe,
One side prayin’ on his knees sayin’ “Lord don’t leave.”
Mind gone crazy, trapped inside my brain,
Enemy whisperin’, feedin’ all the pain,
But I heard God say, “Boy, be still tonight,”
Now the shadows freeze when I walk into the light.
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Yeah…
I got four versions walkin’ through the same hall,
One screamin’ “fight,” one sayin’ “end it all,”
One curled up tired from the weight of life,
One holdin’ onto every single word of Christ.
Fear at the window lookin’ for disaster,
Anger in the mirror yellin’ louder, faster,
Depression on the couch like chains on the soul,
Meanwhile faith tellin’ me “God still in control.”
Man, nobody sees what a man really carries,
Fake smile Sunday while the whole mind buried,
Enemy don’t always pull up with a bottle,
Sometimes he just drains you till your spirit hit hollow.
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
And every thought wanna pull me down deep,
Voices get loud when the whole world sleep,
Then I hear peace cut straight through the noise:
“Be still.”
⸻
[HOOK]
Mind gone crazy, voices in the room,
Dark clouds movin’, feel the pressure doom,
One side rage, one side barely breathe,
One side prayin’ on his knees sayin’ “Lord don’t leave.”
Mind gone crazy, trapped inside my brain,
Enemy whisperin’, feedin’ all the pain,
But I heard God say, “Boy, be still tonight,”
Now the shadows freeze when I walk into the light.
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Romans 12, yeah renew my mind,
‘Cause the enemy know where a man go blind,
Not always liquor, not always pills,
Sometimes it’s exhaustion that quietly kills.
I seen tough men break with nobody around,
Carryin’ battles never makin’ a sound,
Walk in the room like everything cool,
Whole time drownin’ tryin’ not to lose.
But the Spirit said:
“You feed what grows.”
That fear get strong when you never let go,
That anger burns till it black out peace,
But chains start fallin’ when the mind gets freed.
⸻
[BRIDGE — darker cinematic section]
Fear froze.
Anger faded.
Depression still lingered…
But God never left.
⸻
[FINAL HOOK — bigger choir layer]
Mind gone crazy, voices in the room,
Dark clouds movin’, feel the pressure doom,
One side rage, one side barely breathe,
One side prayin’ on his knees sayin’ “Lord don’t leave.”
Mind gone crazy, trapped inside my brain,
Enemy whisperin’, feedin’ all the pain,
But I heard God say, “Boy, be still tonight,”
Now the shadows freeze when I walk into the light.
⸻
[OUTRO — spoken softly]
The enemy doesn’t always destroy a man with addiction…
Sometimes he destroys him with exhaustion.
