Essential Voices

Sometimes in the night
When she's alone
It doesn't seem like she wants to be
Sometimes in the night
When she's alone
And the wall closes in

Sometimes in the night
When she's so cold
And all the darkness frightens her
Sometimes in the night
When it's too cold
And she gets paralyzed

The essential voices are capturing me
She feels as trapped as trapped could be
Alone in the night
All she wants is to scream
The essential voices are capturing me

Sometimes in the night
When she's grown old
And all the memory stares back at her
Sometimes in the night
When she's grown old
And it still closes in

I don't know why you're so kind
And then laughing at me
I don't know why you're so kind
Then you're laughing at me
