I could be daydreaming but for a moment
and somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent
somehow I get cought in their grips again
and here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked into it again
and I reach out for your benevolent opinion
and you bring the light back in.... ooooh
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, 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 weigh in... ooooh
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, 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 judgements so incisive
voices left to their devices
this woman's neuroses a desperate plea
for slack to be cut to me.... cut to meeeeeeee... oooh
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
need your help to turn them down, turn them round
