Voices I Don’t Answer

Verse 1

My phone lights up like a warning sign
But I leave it face down every time
Too many names, too many needs
Too many versions of me

I hear my thoughts when the room’s too still
Every one of them tells me something different
I smile just to keep the peace
But I’m falling apart quietly

⸻

Pre-Chorus

They keep calling through the static
But I don’t know what to say

⸻

Chorus

There’s voices I don’t answer
Knocking at my door
Old fears dressed like questions
I can’t face anymore
I drown them out with silence
Like I’ve done before
Yeah, there’s voices I don’t answer
‘Cause I’m scared of what they want

⸻

Verse 2

Everyone says I’ll be alright
Like healing happens overnight
But every time I close my eyes
The past still talks, it never lies

I built these walls to feel safe
Now I’m trapped inside my own space
If I let them hear the truth
I don’t know what they’d do

⸻

Pre-Chorus

They keep ringing in my head
Every word I never said

⸻

Chorus

There’s voices I don’t answer
Knocking at my door
Old fears dressed like questions
I can’t face anymore
I drown them out with silence
Like I’ve done before
Yeah, there’s voices I don’t answer
‘Cause I’m scared of what they want

⸻

Bridge

Maybe one day I’ll let them in
Let the truth spill from my skin
But tonight I’ll stay unknown
I survive better alone

⸻

Final Chorus (Stripped / Emotional)

There’s voices I don’t answer
Fading in and out
If I listened to them all
I’d forget what I’m about
So I sit here with the quiet
Till the fear is gone
Yeah, there’s voices I don’t answer
But I’m still holding on

⸻
