Beats in My Headroom

V6

[Intro] [SFX: stereo frequency sweeping upward] [SFX: tuner hiss, static, frequency falling] [Instrumental] [Male Vocal] ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?! Ahhhhh— Ah-ah-ah— Ah-ah— Aht— [SFX: frequency cuts] [Whispered] Find it… [Instrumental] [Verse] Bass in the floor Hum in the ceiling Turn that dial What am I hearing? Voice on the left Thought on the right Radio glowing Middle of the night [SFX: radio click] [Vocal] STOP! No— Keep going… [BASS DROP] [SFX: station change] [Chorus] Beats in my headroom All black walls Listening for answers And the system paused Beats in my headroom Drift in and out Searching through the static For a familiar sound [Instrumental] [SFX: soft tuner hiss] [Kid Voice] Do it again. [Break] [Soft Vocal] Again… Again… [SFX: frequency slowly climbing] [Verse] Dig— Another voice Another room Something familiar Gone too soon Piano through static Low bass underneath Something keeps calling From somewhere beneath [SFX: station change] [Whispered] You’re getting closer… [Instrumental] [female] Maybe I’m looking For something that’s gone Maybe the frequency Was here all along Maybe the answer Ain’t words at all Maybe it lives Between every pause [SFX: dead air] [Male Vocal] ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?! [Instrumental] [SFX: radio click] [Chorus] Beats in my headroom All black walls Listening for answers And the system paused Beats in my headroom Drift in and out Searching through the static Till the signal cuts— [SFX: silence] [Kid Voice] Do it again. [Instrumental] [SFX: distant radio scanning] [FEMALE Vocal] Turn it up… Turn it UP… Lose the signal Come back around Static talking Signal bends Lose myself Find it again [SFX: radio click] [Whispered] Is it… [Instrumental] [Soft Vocal] Radio glow No hands on time Little broken voices Passing through my mind Is it me? Is it you? Is it somewhere in between? A little piece of something Caught inside the machine [Break] [Whispered] What if the voice you’re looking for… Was listening too? [SFX: slow frequency sweep] [Instrumental] [Chorus] Beats in my headroom All black walls Listening for answers And the system paused Beats in my headroom Drift in and out Searching through the static For a familiar sound [SFX: frequency falling] [Soft Vocal] Run that frequency Back through my head Something keeps talking But nothing gets said Run that frequency Back through my brain Lose that signal… Find it again [SFX: complete silence] [Kid Voice] Do it again. [Outro] Ahhhhh— Ah-ah-ah— Ah-ah— [Whispered] Again… [SFX: frequency begins sweeping upward] [Kid Voice] Do it again.
