This song is about my ADHD brain
welcome to my shadow town
the colony of voices, shouting out
the committee meets in my head
wants me to live wants me dead
draws the blinds to block the sun
always leaving things undone
It’s clinical, it’s clinical
My mind’s atypical, a typical mess
When I was young I wanted proof
A confirmation of a higher truth
I live my life for living’s sake
Time is the only thing I know how to waste
One voice says I'm hard to love
why is this the one I trust
one tells me I’m worthwhile
the other tells me to quit in style
All I have is to be is me
Joy can take the driver seat
Rummage through through attic space
The mind a perfect thing we waste
It’s clinical, it’s clinical
My mind’s atypical, a typical mess
Looking back, I should have heard
Inner stillness, gentle words
detach. let it be
divinity is in me
It’s clinical, it’s clinical
My mind’s atypical, a typical mess

I'm so happy that you're having such a blast of creativity with FAWM! And it's amazing how you can make all these beautiful songs, one better than the other!
I loved this part:
"One voice says I'm hard to love
why is this the one I trust
one tells me I’m worthwhile
the other tells me to quit in style"
So good!

"welcome to my shadow town the colony of voices, shouting out." Wow, great imagery and delivery - pulled me in big time. The chorus has a nice hook. Really awesome work!

Lovely voice! Your lyrics really do expose the conflicts that are happening inside, but in a way that compels the listener to empathize.
