They came ringing again
            Like grandpa old pendulum clock
       Hanging like a citizen above the cushion
 The voices.. They are at it again

                   They are saying things in gibberish
           Hitting resonance with their pitches
      They are telling me a tale
 *The voices.. They are saying it again*

                   I can hear the reasons
           Why father never stopped drinking
     Why mother never stayed away from the streets
*Why I was born this way*

             They won't stop
          Laughing at my weakness
    Gnashing at my flaws
*Like an hyena*

              My head is haunted
        With grandpa's voice
    My heart is weary of my past
*I can't contain them anymore*
