Day Five: Voices Lyrics - The Human Equation - Ayreon

[Pride] I hear voices, they are talking about you 

Can you hear them, do you know what they mean? 

Try to remember, what have you been through? 

What do you know and what have you seen? 

I can read the thoughts they conveying 

So intense, can you feel them too? 

I can't believe it's true what they're saying 

You're far too strong, it couldn't happen to you 

[Me] But what if there's truth in the words that they speak? 

What do they signify? 

[Pride] You worry too much 

[Me] And what are the questions to answers I seek 

What will they clarify? 

[Pride] Yeah, you're losing your touch 

[Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me... 

[Reason] Who are these voices, where do they come from? 

Should we try to understand? 

Mere illusions, hallucinations? 

They might be vital, to our plan 

[Love] They sound familiar, they must be here to help you 

All this confusion's tearing you apart 

You must be patient, time is the healer 

Open up and let them in your heart 

[Fear] Their guilty sighs 

I think you understand it all 

You were afraid to live, now you're afraid to die... 

You fool yourself 

You rose so high, you were bound to fall 

Longing for the truth, you lived a lie... 

[Reason] I am convinced now, they are essential 

They must be our way out of here 

[Love] Listen and learn, let your heart lead you 

And you will find the solution's near 

[Fear] Their guilty signs 

I think you understand it all 

Long for the truth, you lived a lie... 

[Pride] If they are right, we'll fight for survival 

Look to the future, but learn from the past 

Confront the danger; face up to your rival 

Take a deep breath, we have to move fast 

[Me] I think there is truth in the words that they speak 

What do they signify? 

[Pride] You worry way too much 

[Me] I will find the answers to questions I seek 

What will they clarify? 

[Pride] You're losing your touch 

[Me] Help me out, this means nothing to me...
