Whether a person is left traumatized has less to do with the-shit-that-happened than it has to do with all the shit that happens after the-shit-that-happened.
Many human experiences like hearing voices have, in our culture, been mystified and made taboo and yet are remarkably common.
Making experiences harder to talk about makes these experiences harder to live with and harder to learn how we might live with them.
This leads to more of us struggling including individuals and families supporting their loved ones.
Hearing Voices Café is rooted in the simple belief that we can come together to talk about difficult human experiences in ordinary language and in ordinary places – so we do.
Join us for a different kind of conversation about what it means to be human in this world.
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel

“Pain” (feat. Snoop Dogg)
Pain will make it better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
Let me see how many palms go up high
If you’ve ever felt the world
Had you licked
And what you waving side to side to symbolize
Didn’t help on the sand you wander quick
Big mama said “the Devil’s up to no good”
But we can heal it on a Sunday with a good book
Or we can kill it on a Monday for a good look
Make it part of the campaign, to withstand pain
Me, myself, place it all on my shoulders
And give it my all, like heavy lifting
No gain without tears and sweat
They claim blue skies with white clouds, steady drifting
When pain come to get ya, it hit ya like flu
Better times will pick ya, do what you gotta do
To earn focus in the stormy weather
Come out the tunnel to the light saying
Pain will make it better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
(I heard the people say)
Pain will make it better
(I heard my people say)
Pain will make it better
[Snoop Dogg:]
No wetter, four-letter, mo’ better
Slow pain, no gain, go getta
Change like the weather
Solid as a rock, small piece of leather
But well put together
Flames are endeavors
Time to find out that pain makes it better
Pain makes it better
Shades of epiphany, can’t let it get to me
Move so differently, do it so swiftly
Ease into my style, lay mine down
King be crowned, look at me now
Teaching my classes by the masses
Used to gang bang, used to love the clashes
Now cash is the only motivation, but not for me G
I’m into public relations
That’s food for you, De La Soul, word to the letter…
Pain will make it better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
The bigger the headache, bigger the pill
The harder you fall, stronger the will
We came from the back of the bus
Talking wast to mobile, now we’re on a house on a hill
Stronger, while filling ya gas tank
The bank was feeling your loan
The OT coudn’t cover the bills
When life came with a couple of spills
But we’re gonna use that pain fo’ fuel so…
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
(I heard the people say)
Pain will make it better
(You and my people saying)
Pain will make it better
(I heard the people say)
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better
Pain will make it better

What’s a Hearing Voices Cafe?
Many human experiences like hearing voices have, in our culture, been mystified and made taboo and yet are remarkably common. Making such experiences even harder to talk about makes it harder to live with. This results in more of us struggling and yet more left feeling helpless to support those who are struggling with experiences we have been taught to dismiss and fear but which can often be deeply meaningful and spiritual.
Hearing Voices Café is rooted in the simple belief that we can come together to talk about difficult human experiences in ordinary language and in ordinary places – so we do.
We invite you to join us for a different kind of conversation about what it means to be human.

Throw on
That old song
That’s unchanged melody
Could calm you just like me
Throw in
Some dancin’
That familiar rhythm
Clears up that schism
But he refuses
Makin’ excuses
You let your hair down
Kick off your heels now
Box in the moonlight
Til the sunrise taps you out
You’re feeling snake and rhythm
Bare feet and precision
The silhouette in constant motion
Spinning a web to get his attention
And he refuses
Makin’ excuses
He won’t get down
No no no no no no
I can’t move to this song
Right always moving wrong
I should be gone
I should be running along
No I got work in the morning
Think I ate something with poison
I’m hearing voices
I chipped my front tooth
I am telling the truth
I’m not making excuses
I know it’s alarming
I think I’ve come down with something
These are not ruses
I’m not telling lies
I might die
I’m not making excuses
You got no time to mend
A garden of lemons
That he planted in his kisses
When he thought you weren’t paying attention
He’s drinking milk so sour
Getting bored and by the hour
A silhouette in constant motion
Spinning a web of tired affection
Go in
With movement
A stiff stiletto
Will move repetto
It’s so fleeting
Bears repeating
I think you’re making it up
I think you’re making it up
I can’t move to the song
Right always moving wrong
I should be gone
I should be running along
No I got work in the morning
Think I ate something with poison
I’m hearing voices
I chipped my front tooth
I am telling the truth
I’m not making excuses
I know it’s alarming
I think I’ve come down with something
These are not ruses
I’m not telling lies
I might die
I’m not making excuses
No I got work in the morning
Think I ate something with poison
I’m hearing voices
I chipped my front tooth
I am telling the truth
I’m not making excuses
I know it’s alarming
I think I’ve come down with something
These are not ruses
I’m not telling lies
I might die
I’m not making excuses
