Spiral by Alanis Morissette Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I could be daydreaming but for a moment
And somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping awakened the torrent
Somehow I get caught in their grips again

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked in to it again
And I reach out for your benevolent opinion
And you bring the light back in, oh

[Chorus]
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down, bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down, turn them 'round

[Verse 3]
I could be listening to a conversation
The story I'm not even in
These voices have their way when I am unguarded
Suddenly I step in quicksand again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Once again in my shame spiral
I am glad that you've weighed in, oh

[Chorus]
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down, bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down, turn them 'round

[Bridge]
All these judgements, so incisive
Voices left to their devices
This moments narratee is a desperate plea
For slack to be cut to me
Cut to me, oh

[Chorus]
Don't leave me here with all these critical voices
Cause they do their best to bring me down, bring me down
When I'm alone with all these negative voices
I will need your help to turn them down, turn them 'round

[Outro]
Turn them 'round
Turn them 'round
