[Intro – Female Whisper, close mic] [FX: rain • static • distant heartbeat] Shhh... Don't wake them up. [Whisper – Left] They're listening... [Whisper – Right] Again... Every night when the lights go dead, I hear the voices in my head. [FX: reversed breath → dark piano] [Verse 1 – Male Rap, low & tense] Yeah... I lock the door but they still get in, Same old war underneath my skin. Tell myself I'm good, but I know that's fake, Every smile I wear got another crack to break. Three in the morning, ceiling won't move, Arguing with thoughts I've got nothing to prove. One says run, one says stay, One keeps bringing back yesterday. [Echo: "Yesterday... yesterday..."] I tried silence. I tried noise. But you can't turn down Your own damn voice. [Beat cuts] [Female Whisper] Can you hear them? [Male] Every night. [Pre-Chorus – Female, haunting] There's somebody inside my mind, Wearing my face but it isn't mine. I close my eyes... They're waiting there. [FX: heartbeat accelerates] [Chorus – Female, dark melodic vocal] VOICES IN MY HEAD... They follow everywhere I go. VOICES IN MY HEAD... Telling me the things I shouldn't know. [Backing Whisper: "Don't listen..."] I run... I hide... But they're already inside. And when the whole world goes to bed... I'm alone with the VOICES IN MY HEAD. [FX: bass drop • distorted echo] [Verse 2 – Male Rap, faster] Look— I got a courtroom living inside my brain, Every memory testifies, every scar got a name. Judge says guilty! Fear says run! Past says everything you've ever done— Is coming back! [FX: distorted laugh] So I fight myself like an enemy, Looking in the mirror like, "Remember me?" Yeah, unfortunately, every night, You're the reason that I never turn off the light. But I'm done being scared of a sound in my skull, Done letting yesterday swallow me whole. You wanna keep talking? Then talk. I'm still here. [Music stops] That's all. [Bridge – Female Whisper, almost a cappella] Maybe they're not monsters... Maybe they're just wounds. Maybe every voice I fear Is asking to be heard too. [Breath] So tonight... I won't run. [FX: silence] [Final Chorus – Female + Male Ad-libs] VOICES IN MY HEAD! [Male: "I hear 'em!"] They follow everywhere I go! VOICES IN MY HEAD! [Male: "But they don't control me!"] I finally know... I can hear the darkness, Without becoming it. [Choir enters softly] Let them scream! Let them talk! I'm not afraid Of my own thoughts! [Female – powerful sustained vocal] The voices in my heeeeead! [FX: huge reverb → heartbeat] [Outro – Female Whisper] They're still here... [Male Whisper] Yeah. [Female] Are you scared? [Long pause] [Male] Not anymore. [FX: heartbeat → tape stop → silence]
