Cover art for Voices lyrics by Alice in Chains

I feel this is a song about innocence. Am I 1 or 13? It doesn’t matter, thoughts are thoughts. Innocent most definitely and not corrupted the younger you are and less vulnerable to create complication in simple thought. Used to stand where I kneel? Shouldn’t it be the other way around. You would think your thoughts would become clearer as you age but wait, I’m kneeling where I used to stand? WTF. Why did this happen? Creating a false identity to get by with different names and faces worn to achieve something. But what? Just to fall down. To hold on to everything. What is everything? Seems like nothing if it all breaks so easy. The voices in your head will never lie. They are your pure self. Some sortof ESP or higher conscience of connecting people to what they are really feeling without having to complicate it with BS.
