Every day I carry a weight on my shoulders
This is a Cold War but I’m the only soldier
I’m already 16 feet underground
I hear the voices in my head when no one else is around
I can’t just walk the street by myself anymore
They get louder
There’s more of them now
I can barely overpower them
But I’m not alone anymore, at least for now
While you’re here with me the voices settle down

I hear the voices in my head when no one else is around
I can’t just walk the street by myself anymore
They get louder
There’s more of them now
I can barely overpower them
But I’m not alone anymore, at least for now
While you’re here with me the voices settle down
