The voices in my head

Tell me they know best

Telling me that what’s ahead

Isn’t in my interest

I can see it all clear as day

And yet I can’t help but stray

From what is reality

And what is just, my insecurity

Like a soldier out at war

I fight you every day

Desperate not to believe

The toxic words you say

Unsure of your origin or how you got back in

I Thought I’d won the battle

But guess I was mistaken

And Now you’re Telling me I’m worthless

that I can do better

To follow the rules down to the letter

That society has a plan for me

Something that only fuels my insecurity

You’re not qualified You don’t have the skill

If you want to go far In life then you will

Have to do as I say and only pray

Someone is stupid enough

to take a chance

On a boy from Grimsby

with no experience

To put it all on line for you entirely

Now tell me, how’s your insecurity

The volume is loud

As I drown you out

Your words mean nothing

I have no doubt

I’ve changed the locks, you can’t get in

My thoughts are mine, you cannot win

I am talented and strong

A war in which I have won

From a fragile boy weak and feeble

To a talented king strong and able

Cast aside the fear and doubt

Hear me loud as I shout

You don’t control me anymore

Of that I am truly sure

The sounds you make deep inside

Only champion my passion and drive

You have no control over me

I hope now that you can see

After all the work and pain

You’re no longer my insecurity
