A team of psychologists at UNSW Sydney has uncovered the most compelling evidence so far that hearing voices in schizophrenia may result from the brain’s inability to recognize its own internal speech. 


Verse 1
I walk through rooms of whispering shadows
The echoes float around, I don't know if they're mine
My mind tries to speak, then deafened by confusion
The voice inside me rises, but I hear it as a sign

Pre-Chorus
Because when I think the sound, the brain should know the tone
In healthy minds the silence falls, the signal's found its home
But in this restless circuitry, the prediction fails to stand
And what was mine becomes a stranger's hand

Chorus
Hearing voices, inside my head they roam
Hearing voices, a language I once called home
When I speak to myself, the sound becomes unknown
Hearing voices, I'm haunted by my own

Verse 2
They say the inner voice should fade when I imagine speaking
But mine rebounds in louder waves, a truth I'm forced to face
The brain's alarm rings out for what it thinks is external
Not the script I penned, but a stranger's face

Pre-Chorus
In someone else's ears I hear the words I wrote
My inner narrative becomes a ghost I cannot know
The mechanism that guards the self slips under shifting sand
And what belongs to me slips through my hands

Chorus
Hearing voices, inside my head they roam
Hearing voices, a language I once called home
When I speak to myself, the sound becomes unknown
Hearing voices, I'm haunted by my own

Bridge
If I could rewrite the map that guides the silent sound
Rebuild the gate between the mind and what is found
Maybe then the voice I know will just be mine alone
And the halls of confusion won't feel like home

Chorus (repeat)
Hearing voices, inside my head they roam
Hearing voices, a language I once called home
When I speak to myself, the sound becomes unknown
Hearing voices, I'm haunted by my own

Outro
I'll listen for the moment when the silent becomes clear
When the voice inside aligns and I control what I hear
Until that moment comes I'll face the unknown
Hearing voices, I'll make that journey on my own
