Spiral

(album: Havoc And Bright Lights - 2012)

I could be daydreaming but for a moment
And somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping awakened the torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again

And here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked in to it again
And I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in, oh

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
'Cause they do their 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
The 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, oh

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
'Cause they do their 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 moments narrate is a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me
Cut to me, oh

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
'Cause they do their 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

Turn them 'round
Turn them 'round
