"Spiral" lyrics - ALANIS MORISSETTE

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
