Inside Voice – VOILÀ Lyrics
"You're probably never gonna be someone's everything"
"You're probably never gonna amount to anything"
"No one's gonna wanna hear what you have to sing"
That's where my head goes
Woe is me and I'm woe
These four walls
All that they do is talk
Begging for silent thoughts
But it's not like I have a choice
They say, "Use your inside voice," but mine is too loud
I'm scared that the call comes from inside the house
And the more that I whisper, the more that they shout
I'm drowning in thoughts that are drowning me out
Paralyzed, traumatized, quiet the noises
Learning to talk with my inside voices
Waking up half-dead in my bed again
Like somebody just sucked out the oxygen
I know who to blame, damn, here they go again
And again, and again, I feel like I'm caving in
These four walls
All that they do is talk
They say, "Use your inside voice," but mine is too loud
I'm scared that the call comes from inside the house
And the more that I whisper, the more that they shout
I'm drowning in thoughts that are drowning me out
Paralyzed, traumatized, quiet the noises
Learning to talk with my inside voices
Quiet down, dial it back
Do I just talk to fill the gaps?
Like that kid in class
The teacher always has to ask
Quiet down, dial it back
Do I just talk to fill the gaps?
I'm that kid in class
The teacher always says
"Use your inside voice," but mine is too loud
I'd do anything just to turn them all down
And the more that I whisper, the more that they shout
I'm drowning in thoughts that are drowning me out
Paralyzed, traumatized, quiet the noises
All my life, all of my thoughts are poisoned
Paralyzed, traumatized, quiet the noises
Learning to talk with my inside voices
