Trigger Warning: implied s*icide

 

Another sunrise

Birds singing the same melody

Cup full of tea

Day getting started

But the Voices in my head

Just won’t stop

 

Another sunset

Birds going home

City full of ambitions

Dreams of a bright future

But the Voices in my head 

Just won’t stop

 

They won’t stop 

Their whispers

Their mumbling

Their silent prayers wishing

I did not exist

They won’t stop

Yelling I would be better off

Living beneath the earth

Where there would be no one else

Just me and the voices in my head

With peace
