Voices (In Stereo)

I hear footsteps in my skull

Every thought pulls out a gun

I lie awake with clenched-up fists

Each silence cracks like breaking wrists

The walls lean in when I don't move

I count the lies stuck in my groove

I'm calm, I swear

Just kidding. I'm fucking scared

They keep coming back

And they speak so loud

They trace my breath

Like I'm not allowed

Voices in stereo

Tearing through my head like radio

One says run, one says "stay and burn"

Another laughs while the ceiling turns

I can't mute what's killing me

I can't tell what's really me

All I know is I'm not alone

With these voices in stereo

They hide behind the light switch clicks

They twist my words into new tricks

My sleep's a war I always lose

They talk to me and say: "You know who I am."

I try to breathe, they count my sins

They're in my skin, they crawl within

The door is shut, the room's too wide

And I forget which voice is mine

Shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP

You're not real, you're just my luck

Knives in whispers, teeth in sleep

No more secrets left to keep

Voices in stereo

No escape, no vertigo

They sing in keys I can't ignore

In every crack, behind each door

Don't tell me "it's all in my head"

I've bled too much to still pretend

I'm not alone

With these voices in stereo
