Noise (A Descent Into Madness) ft. Hollow Sermon [Blackline Audio]

///*****/// [Stereo: Vast | Depth: Unstable | Dynamics: Continuous Pressure with Brief Surges] [Tempo: 80 BPM | Signature: fluid 4/4 with elastic bars] [Title: Noise] [Vocals: Confessional male lead | Whispered doubles | Ethereal choir as conscience | Faint female harmonics on lament] [FX: Constant low hum, tape hiss, reverse reverb, faint orchestral swells in lament, abrupt cutoff at end] [Tone: Cinematic, Haunting, Sacred-but-Broken] [Movement I – The Hum | soft piano drone, faint choir, atmospheric hiss] There’s a crowd in my head and they never settle down, Whenever I try to speak, their voices choke out the sound. No comfort in the quiet, no mercy in the noise, Every thought another weapon, every sorrow another choice. Angels hum above the static, their resonance out of tune, I keep waiting for the silence—but my mind has no room. [Movement II – The Spiral | low percussion heartbeat, anxious strings, whisper textures] I beg my mind to give me peace, But every prayer just fuels the beast. Seeking quiet, one breath at a time, Each inhale burns, each exhale lies. Love me or leave me, you aren't me Who gives ’til empty, 'til his essence bleeds The choir drifts higher, the curtain starts to fray I’m weightless, faceless, useless.... Just GO AWAY! [Movement III – The Break | distortion swells, guitars and noise rise, then abrupt silence before each line] [spoken word | music stops] shut up… [silence | whispers overlap] shut up… [silence | static rising] shut up… [scream | full band re-enters] SHUT UP! [pull-out | heavy instruments duck, vocal clear with slight glitch echo] I didn’t choose this fire in my brain, Didn’t choose this torment and constant pain Every cry, a plea for the voices to still But the pounding never ceases..... I bend to its will [Movement IV – The Collapse | distortion bleeds out, slow decay, ghostly synth choir, drums half-time] It’s anger, it’s sorrow, it’s static, it’s grace, A thousand reflections and not one face. The radio changes, I’m losing the line, The signal decays, but it’s all still mine. Voices scatter, waging an endless fight, I beg for relief.....my prayers denied. [Movement V – The Return (Chaos Refrain) | distorted bass pulse, filtered vocals, chaotic layers build again, then implode] [spoken word | music stops] shut up… [silence | low growl heartbeat drum] shut up… [silence | voices harmonize off-key] **SHUT UP!**  (scream | distorted blend of choir and guitars) [pull-out | mix drops to near silence, vocal isolated with digital stutter glitch] The noise is the truth and the truth is my cage, Locked in a mind, turned into a stage. I scream until my throat turns to ash, Aching for this agony to pass. [Movement VI – The Lament | distortion fades completely, orchestral strings, clear piano and choir] The ringing swells like mourning bells, Every note a memory, of a pain I've felt. Then the choir sings soft...almost kind, A requiem for...an unquiet mind. No rage now, a modicum of bliss Tears flow, death is a wish If calm’s a lie, let it lie to me, Just for a breath—pretend I’m free. [swell drops | music decays] But the quiet shifts, turns cruel, then cold, A succubus with teeth, taking control. [Movement VII – The Fading | single sustained piano note, faint choir hum, slow volume decline] The chaos may fade but never die, The devil hums a tune that’s only mine. I’ll wake tomorrow in the same-sadistic-sea, But for a moment…  [whispered | abrupt cutoff]  I remember me.
