Hearing Voices

(Verse 2)
Hello? Graham? It's me, it's Home
You look cold, and you look kind of alone
I know at time's best, you're placed within a choke hold
But that's life at it's worst, you're not going loco
That's something to you, that I solely promise
Remember this will pass, if that's any solace
"I know it is, I'm just getting sick of all this,"
You have so much potential you refuse to acknowledge
It's sad to see you walk on, every single day
With your nose to the concrete, concentrated on the rain
Never look up to find the sun in the sky
I'm always by your side, to wipe tears from your eyes
"I know, and I thank you for that
But this bending over backwards fucked up my back
When I try to help out, all I get's a fuck you!"
Well I'm here to help you, and to tell you I love you

(Hook)
"I'm lost, helpless, I need some guidance
All these voices in my head, remind me of sirens"
"Maybe that the problem is, that I'm all alone
You claim life is calling, but I can't hear the phone"

(Verse 2)
"Oh big surprise, yet another day
That I'm haunted by the pain, I guess as they say
Like attracts like, so I attract pain,"
Graham, relax, there is another way
"Wha?"
Times on Earth are getting tough, resorting to violence
Seems to be the only answer, but I'm here with guidance
When your end's gonna come, and trust me, it will
Will you be able to say that you're destiny's fulfilled?
"Yeah of course! Well, I don't know
I'm caught between paths, and I'm running back and forth
It's like trying to see the prize, locked behind a door
Is this what life is? There's gotta be more
I want to be a bird, you know, flying in the sky
Instead of being labeled just another guy,"
Other's feel like this, you aren't left behind
"Then why is there a dust trail measured to my eyes?"

(Hook)
I know this seems tough, but that's the purpose
You came down to Earth to start learning
So turn your lights on, and quit saying you're not home
We're knocking on your door, not calling your telephone
