Such a great melodic song! I tried to get close to the studio version since
their concert version differed slightly. Check out Jerry's Baritone playing
in the video below and rate or comment.

Lyrics:
 
Who am I?
Is this me?
Am I one?
Or thirteen?
 
I've gone cold
Hard to deal
Used to stand
Where I kneel
 
Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?
 
I want more
Than I need
I don't know
What is real
 
Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?
 
Every time I listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?
 
Whispering their names
Faces, uniforms I've worn
Now that it's gone
Always climbing
To fall down again
Holding on to everything
It's not what it seems
 
I've been told
Dreaming's free
Think I'll go
Back to sleep
 
Everybody listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?
 
Every time I listen
Voices in my head
Everybody listen
Does yours say what mine says?
 
Calling out their names
Faces, uniforms I've worn
Now that it's gone
Always climbing
To fall down again
Holding on to everything
It's not what it seems
