[Instrumental opening — low pulse, bowed texture, reversed breath] [Intro — Angel, close and dry] WHY do they look for us outside of themmm- selves? (you're looking through it!) (you must look inside) [Intro — Demon, low voice, widening delay] BECAUSE it is easier to look up at the sky (UP THERE?) or down at hell (DOWN THERE?) than to realize we both live WITHIN THEM--- (BOTH IN HERE!) (both in here---) [Clipped drums enter; bass follows the vocal rhythm] [Verse 1 — Angel] They chase me to feel HOLY--- (HOL-HOL-- HOLY!) and blame YOU! (point that finger!) whenever they make a TOXIC CHOICE! (your unclean fingerprints!) [Verse 1 — Demon] Yes, it's truth, They treat their own mind like an Epic Stage! (CURTAIN UP!) to escape their own guilt--- (same actor, same act!) escape your guilt (take a bow!) [Tape-stop on the backing voice; lead stays dry] [Verse 2 — Angel, rising intensity] Yet they all have the POOOWER--- to HEAL! LOOOVE---! (still got it!) and shift their inner freq-uency--- (keep turning that dial!) [Verse 2 — Demon, tightening rhythm] They do. BUT! destruction is ADDICTIVE! (another hit of wreckage) It’s easier to want a sa-a-avior--- (SOMEBODY ELSE!) than to take RESPONSIBILITY! (whose hands?) (YOUR HANDS!) [Instrumental turn — chopped backing syllables trade left and right] [Bridge — Angel, drums fall away] They think HEAVEN AND HELL are places they go to when they diiiiiiie--- (then what is THIS?) when (WHAT IS THIS?) they die-- [Bridge — Demon, bass pulse returns] Hell is CREATING your reality-- unconsciously through self-destruction. (EYES SHUT!) (built it yourself!) Heaven is creating it CONSCIOUSLY! through higher awareness. (EYES WOKE!) (same hands, different choice!) (both in here) (lets- hope- ) [Wordless voices climb; percussion crowds in, then cuts] [Finale — Angel, exposed vocal] So HEAVEN is impossible if they erase YOU? (ERASE YOU?- ) (what's left?) [One beat of empty space; full rhythm returns] [Finale — Demon, both lead voices layered on the last line] yessss-- Your highest awareness (needs ALL OF YOU!) needs your darkest TRUUUTH---! (YOUR DARKEST TRUTH!) (no pieces missing!) [Outro — backing voices spread wide; lead ends] (We are both inside you) (both in here---) (were both in here) (without us. you cease to exist.) (together, you are a god.) (believe in yourself) [Instrumental tail — distorted pulse thins to breath, clean cutoff]
