Voices in My Head

Shadows on the ceiling

Spell my name in crooked lines

Every breath I’m stealing

From the silence I can’t find

Clock is grinning

Wicked

Hands are crawling past my bed

Every doubt I buried

Marches circles in my head

Are these demons?

Are these angels?

I can’t tell in this war-torn mind

Every whisper

Like a dagger

Cutting through the thin divide

Voices in my head

Calling out

Calling louder

Tearing through the dark like a storm I can’t outrun

Voices in my head

One for fear

One for power

Tell me which is mine when the screaming’s said and done

(Voices in my head)

Will I bow or will I rise with the sun?

Mirrors show a stranger

Wearing pieces of my face

Every truth is twisted

Into something out of place

Promises I shattered

Clang like armor on the floor

Every secret pounding

Like a fist against the door

Are they memories?

Are they nightmares?

I’ve been feeding them for years

Every echo

Every heartbeat

Marches with a choir of spears

Voices in my head

Calling out

Calling louder

Tearing through the dark like a storm I can’t outrun

Voices in my head

One for fear

One for power

Tell me which is mine when the screaming’s said and done

(Voices in my head)

Will I bow or will I rise with the sun?

I raise my hand to the riot inside

Name every ghost that I tried to deny (hey!)

If I must burn

Then I’ll burn in my name

I am the curse and the cure and the flame

Voices in my head

Calling out

Burning brighter

Singing through the steel of the chains I came from

Voices in my head

Now my choir

Now my fire

Every broken part beating like a battle drum

(Voices in my head)

I won’t bow

I will rise with the sun
