I didn't think,
that something like this could happen to me.
I'd see it on T.V.
A show, nothing real.
Where the doctors claimed the patient was losing their mind.
That's why I thought I was losing my mind.

It started quiet, and I was thinking I was just tired,
but it got louder and louder.
I didn't say anything.
I didn't want to end up in one of those places.
Those places where it's dark and no one else is there.
So I kept quiet.

I thought they'd say I was crazy.
I didn't want to be the odd one.
The one with such a problem, that they couldn't handle for themselves.
I didn't want them to back away from me, backing away from some freak.
So I stayed silent.

I thought I could do it on my own.
I thought I could fight my own war,
But the other side was just too strong.
I gathered all my strength, just to tell someone.
I stopped being quiet.

I should have stayed quiet.
Now they're asking me questions
And badgering me with words.
As if I don't hear enough already.

They wanted me to go to a place.
A place where there was help.
But I said no.
I didn't want any help.
I just wanted silence.

I got silence.
I almost ended all the noises.
But I didn't.
I was strong enough to fight that battle.
Strong enough to win it.
Since that day, the other side got weaker, and I got stronger.

The war is over now.
I won.
I'm not the crazy one, or the freak, or the odd one.
I'm the champion, they all say.
They all smile and tell me that I got through it.
But that's not what I'm happy about.
I'm okay now, because I am alone in my head now. I am
The Single Voice.
