Voices

There are voices in my head
And my heart is trying hard to drown them out
I keep hearing what they say
They entice me into what they're all about
Will power slips away
And I'm weakening with every word they say
So I contemplate my faith
As I do, the whisper turns into a shout
You bring out the darkest side of me
Can't stop from a place that I can't reach
I would love to practice what I preach
You bring out the darkest side of me
I tried to resist but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
I tried to resist but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
Risking everything I had
I was keen to find the worst that I could do
Drove the sanity away
Brought destruction to the people that I know
My head became a cage
I became a puppet on a stage
And even though we're not okay
The feeling brings me pleasure all the same, all the same
You bring out the darkest side of me
Can't stop from a place that I can't reach
I would love to practice what I preach
You bring out the darkest side of me
I tried to resist but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
I tried to resist but you caught me
I tried to dismiss what you taught me
