Brian P Matheny The Voices Said lyrics

The voices said

The voices said he'll make the bed he'll fail to lie alone
He'll flood the seas with empty needs and drift among the bones

The voices said he'll feed the dead he'll surely fold in threes
He'll live in reach unending greed grow deaf from shouting please

And my head it turns to stone
And my thoughts are not my own
Laid waste to all I have known
And shame is all I've been shown

The voices said he'll flee instead he'll never face disease

He'll count the trees burn the breeze and worship mounds of ease

The voices said he'll taunt the bleed he'll laugh in barren streets
He'll squalor time avoid denial and mock with fearless feet

Chorus

The voices said he'll curse the bread he'll squander all he sees
He'll shape desire the grand deifier with words he'll bare the grief

Chorus
