Inner Voice

[Verse 1]
You sit with a heavy weight pressing hard in your head
Searching answers in the lessons and the paths you've tread
Wondering how much of the truth you've been fed
They told you to chase what they call success
To measure your worth by the money and stress
To follow the plan and accept nothing less
But the pressure inside only grows, never rests

You tried to believe the foundation was strong
But the ground kept shifting
The story felt wrong
You saw all the pieces
You missed all along

You asked if the prize could ever be fair
You counted your wins but the losses stayed there
You carried the weight that was never your share
The voices are loud but the choice is yours
The keys to the lock aren't behind closed doors
The truth isn't tied to their gold or applause
It lives in your chest and it's worth the cause

[Chorus]
Listen to your inner voice
It cuts through all the noise
When the pressure pulls you wrong
Listen to your inner voice

[Verse 2]
You've been carrying burdens
That were never your own
Walking roads that were paved
With a weight not your own
Living day after day
By a script you don't own

They tell you to chase recognition the crowd will cheer
To keep running in circles year after year
You reach for the prize
But it shifts as you move
The shine fades quick
And the cracks start to prove
They sell you a dream dressed up as the truth you need
They hand you a plan and demand that you plant their seed
But every step feels rehearsed
Like a scripted feed
The higher you climb the more the ground makes you bleed

You ask if the cost can ever match what you pay
You measure the wins but the weight will not fade
The chains on your shoulders grow tighter every day
The numbers they boast never fill up your soul
The measures they give never make you feel whole

And the voice in your heart be tearing the lies apart
It speaks in a way that cuts to the deepest part
It tells you to move with the beat of your own chart
Reminding you daily to live, not play their part

[Chorus]
Listen to your inner voice
It cuts through all the noise
When the pressure pulls you wrong
Listen to your inner voice

[Verse 3]
I learned to stop playing the games in my head
To question the words in the books I'd read
To move with the weight of my steps instead
The ego misleads and it keeps you blind
It tells you to chase what you'll never find
Its promises break and they waste your time
But the voice in your chest has a truer design

Cutting the noise when the lies surround
keeping you steady when the world breaks down
Never pretending, it's raw, it's sound
It calls when the false ideas rebound
No need for the gold or the fake renown
It guides when the walls are crashing down
It builds in the dark, it won't back down
It's the only thing real when the rest's unsound

So I stopped letting others decide my key
No system can tell me who I should be
The choice is my own
That's what makes me free
When the pressure gets heavy and the lines feel long
That voice is the anchor that keeps me strong
It's been inside guiding me all along
It's the one true rhythm that won't go wrong

I stand on my feet with my head held high
No need for a mask or another lie
I'll carry the truth until the day I die

[Chorus]
Listen to your inner voice
It cuts through all the noise
When the pressure pulls you wrong
Listen to your inner voice
