The voices are mixing and blurring / but a whisper as they start inching their way inside my mind / but now they're all too loud and I'm drowned out in the whitewash / the horror I wake to when the thoughts that used to chill my blood / are at home in my own head / they're taken over and they never
Cease
To speak
Do I know who I am?
When apathy has held my heart
For so long now it feels as if
My convictions have rusted over
Do I know who I am?
It's like the man I used to be is a ghost
Another life that's so far from me
Can I even look in the mirror?
The voices shape me
And I never even saw it coming
The voices shape me
I'm sunken in my apathy
The voices shape me
My identity taken from me
The voices shape me
Can I return to be the man I want to be?
Return
Return
To the man I want to be
