Spiral
I could be daydreaming but for a momentAnd somehow they’re creeping back inI could be sleeping and wake in a torrentSomehow I get caught in their grips again
Here I am in my shame spiralI’m sucked into it againI reach out for your benevolent opinionAnd you bring the light back in
Chorus:Don’t leave me here with all these critical voicesCuz they do their best to bring me down bring me downWhen I’m alone with all these negative voicesI will need your help to turn them down turn them ‘round
I could be listening to a conversationA story I’m not even inThese voices have their way when I am unguardedSuddenly I step in quicksand again
Once again in my shame spiralI am glad that you’ve weighed in
Chorus
All these judgments so incisiveVoices left to their devicesThis woman’s neuroses a desperate pleaFor slack to be cut to me…cut to me
Chorus
