Voices

Oh, another decade came and went
Well, we lost some friends and paid the price
Oh, you know they raised the rent
Oh and all is well in paradise
One more journey around the sun
And not left standing we still had some fun
No need to apologize
But don’t you think you oughta
The sweet misgivings of this lifestyle
Was finally granted clemency
I think I’ll stick around a little while
There’s no need to apologize
But don’t you think you oughta
These consequences
To all these choices
Where can you go
To find a brief escape?
I hear the voices
And I hear them say
It’ll be alright
It’ll be okay
Well, it kinda came and went
Like a cramp in my muscle
Oh, we slowly fit together
Just like pieces of a puzzle
The warm embraces
That come my way
They kinda snap me into now
Then slap me out of yesterday
There’s no need to apologize
I don’t think I’m gonna
These consequences
To all these choices
Where can you go
To find a brief escape?
I hear the voices
From far away
It’ll be alright
It’s gonna be okay
Keep your babies out of sight
And just beyond the pale
A flash of light
Everyone scatters
The plan’s about to fail
I hear the voices
And I hear them say
It’ll be alright
It’s gonna be okay
Made those choices
And that was yesterday
It’ll be alright
It’ll be okay
