Letting The Voices Out To Play

Sometimes I let the voices

Come out to play

Listen to what they have to say

But if I’m not careful

They get a little unruly

And get me in trouble

For which I have to pay

 

But I can’t keep them locked up

In my head all day

Or they’ll drive me insane

There’s only one way

When they get agitated

To keep them placated

So they come out to play

While I sit here and pray

They keep to the terms

Of the deal we negotiated

 

I know I can’t trust them

But I’m all out of choices

It’s the only way

I can appease the voices
