Voices Lyrics

I opened my eyes and had the deepest dream

I was alive but living my life on the TV screen

I was surrounded by

All of these thoughts that I

Picked up from people passing

As they were walking by

Why don't he have a job

Why ain't he working

Ain't he too old to be chasing dreams

Why he so thirsty

Shouldn't he have a place of his own

Why he still drifting

I think he still has a temper too

I think you should mind your business

I was just fine, minding my own

You took me out of my zone

I wasn't looking for fans

I was just sharing my song

I wasn't asking for critics

I tend to do what I'm feeling

Love it or leave it

I can't pretend to be somebody different

Man, what happened to Via

Somebody said he been tripping

Thought he was all about love

Now he be all in his feelings

I had the strangest dream

They've been putting mud on my name

Maybe it's my insecurity

Maybe they're one and the same

I've been hearing voices

Got me so confused

Don't know if it's me

Don't know if it's you

Trying to pull me down

I try to tune 'em out

They just turn up louder

That's what voices do, so I

Quiet my mind

Hoping for something that's real

Then I hear something inside

Focus on what I can feel

Voices are calling my name

Hoping to lead me astray

Then I feel something inside

Focus on feeling my way

Voices are calling my name

Hoping to lead me astray

Then I feel something inside

Focus on feeling my way

I opened my eyes and had the weirdest dream

I was a slave to things that didn't appeal to me

I went and found a job

Now I'll be working

My life is so watered down

But why I'm so thirsty, now

I got a place of my own

Went out and bought me a home

But now I'm stuck in one place

Now I'm stuck paying a loan

I didn't ask for this

It's not what I wanted at all

Social norms be tripping

I gotta get up from my fall

Learn to walk, I've been crawling too long

Thought if I followed along I was right

But we got it so wrong

Especially when art is involved

Each individual becomes essential

To answer your heart when it calls

Anything else is pretending

Hang up the phone and don't listen

I've been hearing voices

Got me so confused

Don't know if it's me

Don't know if it's you

Trying to pull me down

I try to tune 'em out

They just turn up louder

That's what voices do, so I

Quiet my mind

Hoping for something that's real

Then I hear something inside

Focus on what I can feel

Voices are calling my name

Hoping to lead me astray

Then I feel something inside

Focus on feeling my way

Voices are calling my name

Hoping to lead me astray

Then I feel something inside

Focus on feeling my way
