I could be day dreaming 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
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to 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
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
turn them 'round
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
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cuz they do their best to bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down
turn them 'round
