In the dim recess of my mind
Where the little voices hide
Are they being cruel or kind?

The bravest one so hard to find
Buried so far deep inside
In the dim recess of my mind

Words to soothe, ties that bind
In between words that truly died
Are they being cruel or kind?

Finding the light when blind
Looking for someone to confide
In the dim recess of my mind

Words that lied and then defined
Until every tear was surely cried
Are they being cruel or kind?

Please hit pause but not rewind
Until every old tear has dried
In the dim recess of my mind
Are they being cruel or kind?
