Voices
Lauren Sanderson Lyrics

I think sometimes we see the right signs
We have moments of clarity where we see the truth

Hate that they're right
We don't always want to accept the truth because it can be painful

Claim we're still blind
We deny the truth and pretend we don't see it

Ignore the day time
We avoid facing reality and focus on distractions

We fear the night time
We are afraid of facing our fears and vulnerabilities

Crave the right time
We yearn for the perfect moment to take action

Fill the blanks with the empty words
We use meaningless words to fill the gaps in our lives

Empty promises that won't be fulfilled
We make promises we can't keep or believe in empty promises from others

Empty people we could never fill
We seek validation from others who are incapable of giving it

We fight hate with hate
We respond to hate with more hate rather than understanding and compassion

We fight love with fear
We push away love because of our fears and insecurities

We fight dreams with doubts and we disappear
We give up on our dreams and fade away from our true selves

We fight logic over what our heart says
We ignore our intuition and instincts in favor of rational thinking

Demons who ain't even there
We create imaginary problems and fears in our minds

I really sat there and replaced my goals
I lost sight of my dreams and replaced them with someone else's

With a girl who showed me she didn't care
I put my trust in someone who didn't value me

I played myself
I made a mistake and let someone hurt me

I blamed myself
I took responsibility for someone else's actions

I let 'em downplay just how I became myself
I allowed others to belittle and diminish my growth and progress

But just know that I made myself
I am responsible for my own success and who I am as a person

All by myself
Without anyone else's help or influence

I faced myself
I confronted my flaws and shortcomings

When they said I wouldn't
Despite others doubting me

No more time to backtrack
I have to keep moving forward and not dwell on the past

Flashback
A sudden memory from the past

Sorry, thought I told you that
I thought I had already communicated it to you

Warned you that
I tried to caution you beforehand

I gotta get back on the road
I need to return to my path and purpose

Cause you're immune to me
Because you no longer respond to me or affect me

And now this space here in my heart is opportunity
I am using this empty space in my heart to grow and find new opportunities

These spaces in my head
The empty and confusing thoughts in my mind

I hear voices in my head
The conflicting thoughts and doubts in my mind

They tell me you should go
The voices are urging me to let go of a past relationship or situation

They say leave you alone
The voices are telling me to detach from someone or something in my life

Won't you leave me alone?
I am begging the negative thoughts in my mind to stop bothering me

All these voices in my head
The overwhelming and confusing voices and thoughts in my mind
