Are you serious?
Why are you even trying?
You'll never make it
You know what the odds are?
You're not even good
Stop now
Give up!

Ah!
The biggest scar is never visual
The deepest scar is never physical
Always in my mind wanna try to go and hide
The light and the signs I'm findin' inside
Feelin' divided keepin' me behind the blinds
Every time I speak
I can see
Judgin' eyes start to peak
Enemies
Look all the same
Wanna say they're friends to me
But it's all a game that they play
Wanna be the end of me
I'm sick of the talk
And gettin' the calls
From people who were never around
When I started off
They wanna
Put me down like a sedative
Act so surprised when I did what I said I did
You're so simplistic
And I'm optimistic
And I'll let you speak
But then I'll dismiss it
You don't wanna speak facts
Put me under attack
But then I turn it around and all you'll see is stats

All I hear are voices, voices
All I hear are voices, voices
And they're goin' back and forth
Tryin' to destroy me
All I hear are voices
Yeah, yeah yeah

All I hear are voices, voices
All I hear are voices, voices
And they're goin' back and forth
Tryin' to destroy me
All I hear are voices
Yeah, yeah yeah

I'm locked inside my mind
Welcome to my mental penitentiary now
Take a look and tell me what you find
Cuz I'm searchin' for a better part of me
You wanna think it's all copacetic
Like I'm an open letter but it's closed and it's set up
On a shelf with all the books that I never read and
It's full of words I never learned and I never said
But letting it burn was never part of the plan I
Stand and watch the flames dance
And take the blame answers all the shame I
Started feelin' defeated brought to my knees
So I feed it the needed to beat it but pleading was eating
At all my thoughts and the overall cost was crucial
Now I'm lost
please tell me what would you do
Let the past be the past
But the last thing I had
Was a lasting impression of madness

All I hear are voices, voices
All I hear are voices, voices
And they're goin' back and forth
Tryin' to destroy me
All I hear are voices
Yeah, yeah yeah

All I hear are voices, voices
All I hear are voices, voices
And they're goin' back and forth
Tryin' to destroy me
All I hear are voices
Yeah, yeah yeah

I been tryin' to figure out where my heads at
These headhunters wanna see me come in dead last
So I'm huntin' the hunters cuz somethin' they never thought of
My grind is a hundred times better than the best
When I step up in the building they gon' feel it
When they feel it
They gon' know that it's real
I'm sendin' shivers down their bones and they choke
I silence everybody that
Ever had the thought of saying no
I'm livin' the dream
You dreamin' of livin'
I'm givin' everything that I got to this every minute
You just wanna try to stop it
Put my focus on the future
You're to caught up in the hope that you can get me
You're too slow
You need a tutor
This is an intervention
I guess I forgot to mention
The secrets that I locked up in a room you'll never get in
Cuz it's too cold and dark
An open heart would close up
I guess there was no hope from the start

All I hear are voices, voices
All I hear are voices, voices
And they're goin' back and forth
Tryin' to destroy me
All I hear are voices
Yeah, yeah yeah

All I hear are voices, voices
All I hear are voices, voices
And they're goin' back and forth
Tryin' to destroy me
All I hear are voices
Yeah, yeah yeah
