Lyrics Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette

Spiral

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

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

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices

Cause they do their best to bring me down

When I'm alone with all these negative voices

I will need your help to turn them down

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

Once again in my shame spiral

I am glad that you've weighed in

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices

Cause they do their best to bring me down

When I'm alone with all these negative voices

I will need your help to turn them down

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

Don't leave me here with all these critical voices

Cause they do their best to bring me down

When I'm alone with all these negative voices

I will need your help to turn them down
