Sometimes, I find my quiet spot within the crowd
'cause when I'm by myself, the silence is too loud
Voices in my head like a shattering glass wall
Usually hard to choose whose side to be on

When good and bad thoughts are engaged in a war
A war on who is going to have my attention
Each voice yelling, trying to pull me in like suction
Each wanting me to pledge my allegiance

I can't deny the build up of tension
On every nerve, muscle and vein
I'm well aware that one feels good for a moment
But the end of it is vain

Denying those bad voices feels like a pain
Especially when I think about the immediate gain
Multiple drivers trying to drive the same car at the same time
A situation I call, tug of war of the mind
