The voices and I

The voices and I, we have an agreement
they fight to stay while I pray they leave
scared of the night,
and I'm not sure where I'm going
but I'm not giving up the battle yet

And they can say what they want
I promised I wouldn't listen
I'm turning 'round, I won't run
refusing to break and watch
my future burn to the ground
now I hear you calling through
the tangled web of lies, you're on my side
joining the war that's not quite won
the struggle in my mind
between the voices and I

The voices and I, are still both surviving
they scream out while in silence I hope
this is my life,
and I'm certain I'm a fighter
no, I'm not letting go of my heart yet

And they can say what they want
I promised I wouldn't listen
I'm turning 'round, I won't run
refusing to break and watch
my future burn to the ground
now I hear you calling through
the tangled web of lies, you're on my side
joining the war that's not quite won
the struggle in my mind
between the voices and I

And I know, one day the lies will have to go
and I'll stand, stronger in the quiet after the storm!
but for now, I try... to win against my mind, and I've decided... I can fight this:
the voices and I!
