Haunting Voices

Haunting Voices Slice me open and watch me bleed It's for your own good they are telling me You were numb before but now you're freed Ripping and prying, you're hurting me I listen to the voices that are haunting me They're making me my problem ever endlessly Cutting at my corners, rearranging me I'll always be a slave to your memory Reasons I am running free Are the voices haunting me Earth beneath my shaking feet Walking on my path, trusting in me Amidst the unknown, I kneel to pray Asking for guidance to survive this day Through the chaos I find my way Loving the pieces that were rearranged Reflection of perfection, it couldn't last I fell from grace, things changed so fast You were almost there, now shattered glass Bleeding from the edges of of my scattered past I listen to the voices, a haunting plea Forcing my hand, of who to be Head under water, to wash me clean Submerged in the emotions of what I've seen Reasons I am swimming deep Are the voices haunting me Guided by emotions of who to be Praying that these waters can wash me clean Lost in the currents, take me to the sea Transforming my faults Into strength for me Courage to face what used to haunt me Are the reason i am swimming free Flood the gates and wash me out You say you don't trust me, You're filled with doubt You didn't try before, But now you pray Begging and pleading your drowning me Searching for air, i must take flight To be reborn after this dark night Head above water, i hear the plea Of the haunting voices that were changing me The reason I am flying free Are the voices changing me Wind beneath my beating winds Flying with spirit soaring with me Adrift in the ether I spread my winds Into the sky where freedom rings I see the arrows aim at me Prepared to take me down and watch me bleed Pierce my wings and shoot me down A hopeful game, I've been found out I was gone before, but now I'm back I don't want to fight, this isn't an attack I listen to the voices tell me to leave You're just the same, too intense for me Collecting all my feathers, you're stalking me I'll always be a slave to what you see The reasons I am falling steep Are the arrows shot at me Judgements cast now strip me clean Fully liberated of who I've been As I fall I see the light Fire burning in the night Wings once beating drift like a kit To see what this fire will ignite Start the fire, watch me burn You say this is the only way I will learn You were cold before, now feel the heat Scorching inferno you're killing me Cut at my edges, they rearranged me And now in the fire they turn to steam Grateful for the voices that have changed me I'll always remember what you taught to me The reasons I am burning free Are the voices that changed me Fully enveloped in the heat Burning with spirit a vivid dream I listen to the voices that have taught me How to transform my memories Cut at my corners, we rearranged me And these are the reasons I am running free
