[Two male vocalists only] [M1: harsh male growl] [M2: clean, soft male tenor] [Intro — M1] The whispers never stop I just want them to stop Nails inside the walls Dragging through the dark Hello, torment [M2] Voices piercing me I am a ghost trying to live But I don't want to be Hello, torment [Verse 1 — M1] All these little things inside me Trying to take over Whispers turn to screams Watching my wings burn (WATCH them burn!) It better not hurt (like I hurt you!) [Verse 2 — M1] I feel like I'm in purgatory Cold scalpel grazing your flesh Like a killer instinct I smell your blood and I shiver I don't want to remember it Hello, torment [Pre-Chorus — M2] I'm trying so hard To be the one they need (Is there enough of me?) My halo hangs Like a blade above me But I can't hide the light I buried I see inside the dark rooms Little shadows reaching for my sun Hello, torment [Build — Alternating M2/M1] [M2] Lost in the halls of my mind Doors open wide [M1] Palace made of pieces of me Rooms fracture reality [M2] They whisper Against my skin [M1] They never leave me alone [M2] There's no way out No release [Both] A thousand faces—not one is me [Chorus — M2 lead + M1] Hello, torment... My dearest friend [Both] My mind palace Never ends [M2] My mind palace Never— [M1 scream] [SCREAM!] [Male choir] Hello, torment... [Verse 3 — M2] Screaming in my ears A thousand voices Haunting me (HAUNT ME!) Clinging to my lucid dream A tortured angel of the void [M1] The creature watches from the dark Laughing at my agony Hello, torment
