there's a silent voice inside my head
that i cannot ignore
because he only tells me things
that make me doubt
and when he asks me how i'm doing
i'm left a bit unsure
because he's always there inside me
anymore
and the answers to these questions
swarm around me like the crows
as the strength within to sound them
is as hollow as your ghost
and i'm leaning towards something
that i've never felt before
and i'm not sure i can fight it
anymore
he said, "there's a dozen ways to help you
but i know that i don't
because i can't put faith in something
i can't see"
"there's so much i could tell you
but i swear that i won't
because the fear of letting go
makes it so much harder to breathe"
and the answers to these questions
swarm around me like the crows
as the strength within to sound them
is as hollow as your ghost
and i'm leaning towards something
that i've never felt before
and i'm not sure i can fight it
anymore
hello, are you in there
how i hate to be alone
hello, are you in there
can you tell me what you know
and the voice within me answers
and i know somehow he knows
and i summon strength to listen
because i know he is your ghost
and you're pointing me towards something
that i've never felt before
i reach out to embrace it
and i'm sure
