Voices

Voices was the first song on the first album by Canadian band Nightmare Million$ "Beginner's Luck". The song has a story in it (much like most songs written by A). Voices has a very dark and deep story which is why even though the song is completely swear-free it still has a warning on it. The song's story is about a 14 year old girl who breaks up with her boyfriend, he then rapes her and gets her pregnant. After that the baby is a miscarriage and she is devastated and suicidal. After that a lonely young boy goes on the internet and meets this girl, they become friends and she eventually admits to him that she was raped. He promises to help her with the grief but becomes consumed by darkness stating "I need to stay, but these voices won't go away." The song is sung through the point of view of the lonely young boy.

Voices lyrics:

[chorus]

One more mistake, is all it will take, I need to stay, but these voices won't go away.

But I'll do it for you.

[verse 1]

A bad boyfriend, a rotten egg, that's all it takes to ruin a life, that's all it takes to ruin yours. But your bubsy baby's right here, right here. Feeling sorry for myself, so I reach out, then I met you, a poor soul, living soulless, with a broken home, a dead baby. So I might just stay, maybe. The pain amplified by the voices telling you to use the blade on the once perfect skin that wasn't riddled with cuts and scars of the past mistakes. The wounds only hurt when you think of the dead bubbers that never left the womb.

[chorus]

[verse 2]

Once all is said and done I'm crying myself to sleep thinking of the bad, dark and grey. Nothing matters and all I can do is cry, I'm gonna die!

[chorus]
