The voices said
The voices said heâll make the bed heâll fail to lie alone
Heâll flood the seas with empty needs and drift among the bones
The voices said heâll feed the dead heâll surely fold in threes
Heâll live in reach unending greed grow deaf from shouting please
And my head it turns to stone
And my thoughts are not my own
Laid waste to all I have known
And shame is all Iâve been shown
The voices said heâll flee instead heâll never face disease
Heâll count the trees burn the breeze and worship mounds of ease
The voices said heâll taunt the bleed heâll laugh in barren streets
Heâll squalor time avoid denial and mock with fearless feet
Chorus
The voices said heâll curse the bread heâll squander all he sees
Heâll shape desire the grand deifier with words heâll bare the grief
Chorus
