These Voices in My Head (Reprise)

There’s voices in my head
So many I lost track
Screaming, rambling, mocking me
I want my own mind back

Stealing all my focus
They leave me lost in doubt
If only I could shut them up
Or somehow drown them out

The turmoil overwhelms
Like storms that thrash about
Crashing, tossing ships aground
They leave me full of doubt

Through silent thoughts they roar
Of deep and dark despair
Longing to silence them grows
I need some peace in there

Please let me hear His voice
Through heart, THEN mind, he speaks
Yet hard to feel above the noise
Unheard mid endless shrieks

Oh thoughts Just let me be!
I cannot bear it long
Please shut up I beg of thee!
And pester me no more

Grant me strength, pray for me
Stop the pain, set me free
Before I walk forbidden paths
Of deeds dark and dreary
