There's these voices in my mind

Friends and enemies alike

That tell me that I'm not worth it

That I'm a bother to be around.

Sometimes the voice is mine

Telling me everything I've done wrong

Everything I won't do right.

In silence I sit, 

Trying to think of other things

And with people I talk

Probably too much for my own good.

I can see it on their faces

That my voice is grating

That I speak too much about nothing

That I should just shut up.

I can't.

The voices get too loud

They hurt my ears and heart

The voices get too loud

And it feels like my world might fall apart.

I put on music to drown them out

And talk to much to drown them out

Bit no matter what I try to do

They just jeep coming back.

The voices get too loud

Except in one instance

Any time that your around

My mind is in blissful silence.

I don't need to talk or hum

I don't need any music

There's no need for background noise

Because you drown out all the voices.
