RAi Soulmusic – INNER VOICE
(Intro – whispered voices left/right)
Voice One:
You failed again…
Look at your life.
Everybody leaves you.
Voice Two:
No, THEY failed me.
The world is fake.
People are poison.
Voice One:
You’re weak.
Voice Two:
You’re scared.
Both:
NO, YOU ARE!
(Beat drops)
Verse 1
Every night got a war in my head,
One voice screams “go”, one voice wants me dead.
One blames pain, one blames fate,
Both build prisons then call it escape.
Mirror conversations in the dark at 3,
One says “fight”, one says “leave”.
One wants money, one wants peace,
Neither one of them lets me breathe.
I was drowning in opinions of myself,
Building different masks and putting pain on shelves.
One ego dressed like an angel in white,
The other wore black saying “burn this life”.
And they argued for years through my blood and bones,
Like two kings fighting over an empty throne.
Till silence came…
And I heard something deeper than the noise.
Chorus
Who is the voice inside my mind?
Who’s the judge and who decides?
If both keep changing all the time…
Then maybe neither one is “I”.
I sat down in the storm one night,
Stopped the war, turned off the fight.
Then I heard the truth arise:
“I am not the voices…
I’m the one who listens.”
Verse 2
One voice said:
“Get revenge, make ‘em bleed.”
The other said:
“Stay small, don’t dream.”
One called me broken beyond repair,
The other sold fake hope just to keep me there.
Both were actors wearing different skin,
Both fed fear just to survive within.
Then I noticed something strange one day,
The voices vanished when I stopped obeying.
Like ghosts needing attention to exist,
Ego survives when awareness quits.
So I watched them…
Like thunder passing through the sky.
No need to kill them,
No need to hide.
Because light and shadow both appear in me,
But neither one defines what I be.
Thoughts are weather.
Consciousness is the sea.
Bridge
(soft female vocal)
You are not anger…
You are not fear…
You are the silence…
That was always here…
Final Chorus
Who is the voice inside my mind?
Who keeps changing all the time?
Heroes, villains, wrong or right…
All just costumes in the light.
Now I smile when the chaos speaks,
I don’t run and I don’t believe.
Cause finally I realized:
The devil and the angel…
Were both talking to themselves.
And I…
Was only listening.
(Outro – whispered)
No more fighting…
Just awareness…
Just presence…
Just me…
