Das Finale der Dialoque-Trilogie [Verse 1] Why do I wake like I lost a war? (you won, you won!) Can't name the wounds, but I feel them sore (we counted thirty-one) I walk through mirrors that don't reflect (you look amazing!) Every glance is suspect (ugly, hideous—no wait, hot!) Is this what it means to be "known"? (we know you) To hold a name that's not your own (it’s borrowed) What if I’m not here at all? (just fall) What if I'm finally standing tall? (no you're crawling!) (stand up, keep going, don’t listen to them) [Chorus] These are the voices, a thousand deep (We sing, we scream) Cheering and tearing and gasping to breathe (we laugh, we weep) Inside of my head — a stadium crowd Whisperin’ for silence (silence is betrayal) Whisperin’ for silence (shout louder!) [Verse 2] Today they speak in riddles and fire (guess what burns?) Tomorrow in lullabies from a choir (soft, soft, lullabye lie) I dance on sentences that never end (you said you'd stop dancing) The commas split and never mend (you split too, remember?) Did I ask for this storm of sound? (no, but you built it) Can I shut the sky back down? (the latch is gone) I try to sleep but they debate (facts! feelings! philosophy! fate!) Even dreams are loud now (they miss you—they don´t) [Bridge] (hey, it’s me, you used to listen) (hush child, they’re just tired) (louder! LOUDER! silence is weakness!) (you are gold under pressure) (no one cares) (i do! - i do!) (this isn't madness, it’s music!) (you are not alone) (you’re one of us now) (what if we’re all wrong?) (we’re not. we’re perfect. we’re chaos.) [Chorus 2] These are the voices I tried to mute (just hum louder, la-la-la) Wrapped in a choir, twisted in roots (we grow in you) Mocking, loving, lying, true (truth hurts feel) They build me up — they tear me through (you deserved it - sure ?) Inside of my head — a war, a womb (give birth to a new you) Inside of my head — a bright, dark room (The switch, no the other one) Whisperin’ for silence (we love the sound of quiet pain) Whisperin’ for silence (listen, and be whole) [Outro - Spoken Voices] (can we rest?) (no! encore!) (it’s okay, breathe) (you did fine today) (everyone quiet now ?) (not everyone) (someone’s waiting) (no one’s real) (you’re real) (you are you)
