Voices: Song Lyrics of Struggle, Resilience, and Finding Your Strength

Voices by Thorne Empire

By Thorne EmpirePublished about a month ago • 1 min read

When I was young, heard ghosts in my mind,

Whispers in the dark saying, quit, don’t climb.

No escape, no peace, just a war in my head,

Told me I was nothing, just a name left for dead.


Fade away, boy, you ain't built to stay,

Just a picture in a frame, just a shadow in the gray.

But I kept on pushing, fighting through the rain,

Broke the chains, now I'm carving my name.


Hope was a flicker, but I gripped it tight,

While the demons kept pulling me into the night.

I ain't giving in, I just catch my breath,

Turned whispers to embers; I rose from the depths.


Now the voices still talk, but they whisper my name,

I walk through the fire, never burn in the flame.

Lost in the dark, now I blaze my own way,

Ain't no voice gonna tell me that I’m fading away.


Fade away, boy, you ain't built to stay,

Just a picture in a frame, just a shadow in the gray.

But I kept on pushing, fighting through the rain,

Broke the chains, now I'm carving my name.


Now the voices still talk, but they whisper my name,

I walk through the fire, never burn in the flame.

Lost in the dark, now I blaze my own way,

Ain't no voice gonna tell me that I’m fading away.

I write the lyrics and let the AI carry the tune. Sometimes it’s magic, sometimes it misses the mark; but every word is a piece of me. Whether it hits or not, the fact that you listened, and felt anything at all; that means everything.
