THE VOICES IN MY HEAD

The voices, the voices in my head
You keep me alive, when I’m long since dead.

Still talking, still mocking
Still asking me questions my conscience finds shocking
Still shining the torch on dingy corners of my mind
Still screaming, still accusing when I choose to turn blind
Still taunting me with regrets, still opening wounds unexposed
Still making me guilty of cases long closed.

The voices, the voices in my head
You keep me alive, when I’m long since dead.

Still giggling, still laughing
Still childlike, before the world came down crashing
Still kind, still benevolent, still looking firmly north
Still reassuring, when I passionately go forth
Still being my friend in need, when I tend to falter
Still shaking up my core when my I’m an emotional defaulter.

The voices, the voices in my head
You keep me alive, when I’m long since dead.

Shake me, debase me
Kill me, embrace me
For life and death, we’ll always be wed
The voices, the voices in my head.
