Spiral lyrics

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
