Too many thoughts
Swirl in my head    
    They fight for a voice
    Things left unsaid    
In panicked fear    
The voices fight
      Sometimes all day
Sometimes all night
Voices like people  
   Trapped deep inside
       Who say some things
    I'd rather hide

Too many voices                  
Want to be heard      
Oft' I'll open my mouth    
And ne'er say a word          
       Thoughts so oppressive
They hurt me to hold          
It'd hurt more to say 'em
I ain't that bold          

                           Too many thoughts
                    Swirling within
                                           Can't tell where they start
                              Or when they begin
                       Together so loud
                               I can't take the noise
                           These voices aren't me
                                    What I speak is my choice!

Too many things    
I never could say    
           And nothing I do
Takes these voices away
