The Voices Are Back
Navigating Shadows: A Tale of Voices and Redemption
Lyrics
He saw flames in the department store
Perceived flames in a department store
He tried to get the people to the safety of the door
Attempted to guide people to safety
There was no fire the voices were telling him what to do
No actual fire; influenced by inner voices
You could see from his face he needs someone
Emotional distress evident from his face
To help pull him through
Requires assistance and support
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
The inner voices resurface, dictating actions
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Continued influence of inner voices
Ripping through the fabric between his world and the real
Struggling to distinguish between reality and imagination
He's trying to protect you but
Effort to protect others, but danger looms
The knife will know that your flesh meets steel
Risk of harm with a knife involved
Took him to an institution
Admitted to an institution for assistance
And they helped the voices go away
Treatment helped temporarily silence the inner voices
But he didn't have the right set of papers
Issues with proper documentation led to legal consequences
So they put this boy in jail
Unjust incarceration due to bureaucratic shortcomings
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Reoccurrence of inner voices influencing actions
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Continued impact of inner voices on behavior
Six weeks turned to twelve
Extended confinement beyond initial expectations
He was locked up for twenty-three hours a day
Isolation for a significant portion of each day
The warden found him in his cell
Discovery by the warden in the confined space
His only crime was that he was ill
Punished solely for being mentally unwell
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Resurgence of inner voices dictating actions once again
The voices are back they're telling him what to do
Continued struggle with the influence of inner voices
