Voices Lyrics
My words come out like an avalanche in silence
And you've got oceans trapped in your eyelids
They tell me that no man is an island
But it feels like it's a storm that I've been fighting
And I used to listen to the radio
But I've got an army of voices in my head
We used to live in stereo
But I've got an army of voices in my head
How come the friends and foes invisible
Are the ones that make my soul most miserable?
Head’s reeling from the feeling
In my mind but I feel it in the physical
Why's the sunlight hiding?
Ain't letting any light in?
It's a storm that I've been fighting
Every moment crowded with choices
Speak to me and drown out the voices
And you've got oceans trapped in your eyelids
They tell me that no man is an island
But it feels like it's a storm that I've been fighting
But I've got an army of voices in my head
We used to live in stereo
But I've got an army of voices in my head
Are the ones that make my soul most miserable?
Head’s reeling from the feeling
In my mind but I feel it in the physical
Ain't letting any light in?
It's a storm that I've been fighting
Speak to me and drown out the voices
"Some people like to have the TV or radio on as background noise. It helps them feel less alone. But I don't need the talking heads or the static... There's a constant hum of voices in my head... Fighting to be heard, shaping my future thoughts and actions with their insistent murmur. If the goal is to find clarity, then this song speaks to the fact that clarity is not found in the noise, hustle or striving for it. No. Clarity is found in the silence, not the scream." -- Jon Foreman
