[Verse 1]
Where do I begin?
'Cause my story's still untold
Left to be unwritten
Like memories to unfold
And I don't believe the truth...
13 Voices
Sum 41
[Verse 1]
Where do I begin?
'Cause my story's still untold
Left to be unwritten
Like memories to unfold
And I don't believe the truth
It doesn't make me feel alive
The truth's just overrated
We've all got something to hide
Cause lies make it so much fun
So sing the praise of insincerity
[Pre-Chorus]
Make this your last prayer
As the dream becomes your worst nightmare
[Chorus]
I'm not your savior or a saint
No use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame
Life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will
Put a bullet in his head
[Verse]
Pay me no more mind
Have I really come undone?
I left the world this evening
Just to kill the sun
And I've got no more to bleed
All that's left will soon be gone
Especially before my mind fades like the stars at dawn
Well I bet you got a lot to say
So have it your way and crucify me
[Pre-Chorus]
Make this your your last prayer
As the dream becomes your worst nightmare
[Chorus]
I'm not your savior or a saint
No use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame
Life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will
Put a bullet in his head
[Bridge]
Breathless kiss to end all this
I fall, I say goodbye to all
Close my eyes oh sweet demise
A love that no one understands
[Interlude]
And I don't believe in redemption
And no one will be spared
There's 32 ways you can die here tonight
It's a fucking family affair
[Chorus]
I'm not your savior or a saint
No use praying for escape
I'll be there just to put the bullet in your head
Just another crying shame
Life is such a deadly game
Gone wrong, fire at will
Put a bullet in his head

In an interview with Rock Sound, Whibley said that “13 Voices” was inspired by watching Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino movies with no sound.
Deryck said:
There's so much chaos in my head of being newly sober, going through recovery and doing everything for the first time, everything felt new and frightening and scary, and there was so much noise in my head of self-doubt and insecurity and I was questioning whether I was doing anything correctly. I couldn't be around people, everything was just really bizarre. I thought I was going crazy and becoming schizophrenic or something.
That's always been a fear of mine, when you see crazy people on the street it's like, ‘How did they get there?'. Is it possible to all of a sudden become crazy one day, and had I done it to myself? I thought I was losing my mind so that's what that song is about and what that title represents, all the voices in my head at once, all screaming at one time.
