I could be daydreaming but for a moment
And somehow they’re creeping back in
I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again
Here I am in my shame spiral
I’m sucked into it again
I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in
Chorus:
Don’t leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to bring me down bring me down
When I’m alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round
I could be listening to a conversation
A story I’m not even in
These voices have their way when I am unguarded
Suddenly I step in quicksand again
Once again in my shame spiral
I am glad that you’ve weighed in
Chorus
All these judgments so incisive
Voices left to their devices
This woman’s neuroses a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me…cut to me
Chorus
