I've been seeing more and more articles in the news about mental health issues in these trying times. If you have a moment, give this song a listen and really try to listen to the lyrics. Thank you.
Wrote this song to help raise awareness of the anguish and suffering of anyone afflicted by any form of mental illness.

Verse 1
These voices in my head
I hear them calling but there’s emptiness in there.
These voices in my head
The echos bouncing in the darkness of my mind.
These voices in my head
The chatter blurring thoughts that are barely there.
Chorus:
I feel emptiness and fear, of being all alone.
I sit and wonder, anybody see the pain.
I’m scared and hopeless dare not share my shame.
Loneliness consumes me, eats away the ye-ears
Verse 2
These voices in my head
I dare not dream, I fear nightmares and pain.
These voices in my head
Fill me with sorrow, I see no end in sight.
These voices in my head
Make me insecure and bring me guilt and shame.
<Chorus>
Instrumental:
Verse 3
These voices in my head
Suffer through the pain trying to hold out my hand.
These voices in my head
The crushing darkness breaks my heart consumes my mind.
These voices in my head
Does anybody notice, does anybody care.
<Chorus>
Verse 4
These voices in my head
I ask why, there are no tears when I cry.
These voices in my head
No one hears the silent screams in my mind.
These voices in my head
You don’t understand when I tell you I’m fine.
<Chorus>
Outro: (with just guitar and synths)
These voices in my head
I hear a soothing voice reaching for my hand.
These voices in my head
I see a light, where darkness filled my soul.
These voices in my head
Someone heard my cry, now I’am alone no more.
These voices in my head
These voices slowly fading from my mind
