Voices Lyrics by Taryn Southern

I AM AI

2017

The voices in my head are unkind
(Voices in my head)
Giving power to thoughts I couldn't dare own as mine
(What if I fail?)
The longer the voices perceive my failures
The more forcefully I validate their existence
(What if I’m alone forever?)
And then I wonder
How many others hear voices like mine?
(Voices like mine, voices like mine)
Time to wake up
Brush my teeth
Go to work
Time to come home and count likes as my worth
Time to call friends and check in
All's the same
Time for goodnight hope tomorrow will change
Perceiving that it's always time for something
And yet there’s never enough
Time spent always gamifying
For more friends and more followers
Say what's on your mind!
(Silence the voices, stop the voices)
Hush the noise inside!
(Silence the voices, stop the voices)
Write what's in your head!
(Silence the voices, stop the voices)
Speak what's left unsaid!
(Silence the voices, please stop the voices)
Time to wake up
Get dressed, go for a run
Time to clock in
Check email, hold my tongue
Time to clock out
Have a drink, socialize
Time to ignore the dark voices inside
Perceiving that it's always time for something
And yet there's never enough
Time spent always gamifying
For more friends and more followers
Say what's on your mind!
(Silence the voices, stop the voices)
Hush the noise inside!
(Silence the voices, stop the voices)
Time to stop the noise!
(Silence the voices, stop the voices)
Shut the voices out!
(Silence the voices, please stop the voices)
Stop the voices!
Stop the voices!
Perhaps it's only when we stare at our limited existence
That we finally reconcile with the truth
The truth that we can’t engineer time
And that thinking small
And doing small
And loving small
Only make sense under the narrative that we will somehow live forever
And once I realize this truth
That the voices of reluctance and doubt
Are just fragments of false belief
That our brains are like machines
Running antiquated operating software
Once I fully accepted this
My truth
Then and only then
Did I minimize their power
And just like that
I found freedom
Freedom to pause all the noise in my mind
Free to let go
Of the voices inside
