Voices - Seventh Avenue

When I am alone in the night I fear

To switch off the light

Although I’m alone a voice is whispering to me

It’s like an ugly demon right beside my head

Oh how I hate his voice, I wish I’d have a choice

I don’t want to hear the things he breathe in my ear

And if I try to hide the demon laughs at me

Oh I scream and I cry, I ask and deny

Nothing helps me, nothing alleviates

The voice still whispers

And I am on to believe

Oh my child I know your fears

And I see what it looks inside you

I had to go the same path long ago

Oh my child I see your tears

And be sure, I’m crying with you

I hope you’ll take my hand and trust in me

Cause I died for you

There’s nothing more to say

And if I’m praying to God there’s silence in my head

But I know it won’t last, the voices come so fast

And they steal the strength which I got just before

Reproach me with my sins, saying I’m too far out

I start to believe, relapsing down to grief

Sorrow drowns me in a sea of pain
