Who is it that whispers in my ear?   There's an old madman, Constantly muttering of doom and destruction And it's difficult to comprehend the truth he speaks If there's any truth to it at all   There's a modest, clever gentleman, Undoubtedly of proper, British upbringing Who by my side, advises me calmly and reasonably Of what needs to be done for the good of me and mine   There's the great void, Silently commanding my body and mind To sink into a slow freeze And erode into inaction   There's the spirit of the sun, Who sings beautifully and instills serenity Ushering my heart into the yellow euphoria Where everything is alright in the world   And her twin brother, The elusive creature of deep woods Who with witty jests leads me to the green euphoria Of happiness without restraint   All of these I hear Their appearances change according to the weather, And the season, And their mood, And my own   But all get fair representation And despite the distinction of each Sometimes I still cannot quite tell Which is it, that currently whispers in my ear.
