[Intro] Tell me whose voice do you hear? The one you tried so hard to forget *Vox sub aqua...* *Audi me...* [Verse 1] Someone calls your name below in a lullaby you never knew One wrong note slips out of place and suddenly you're crying too Turn away, your feet stand still but your shadow comes to me Cover both your ears so tight still the melody gets through [Pre-Chorus] Beautiful? Terrible? They are only one sound here *Noli audire* *Audi me* Close your eyes and almost remember [Chorus] Don't listen keep listening Let the contradiction pull you under In something soft I hide one note that never should belong Want to leave can't leave now Let your heart run if it wants to Your body already knows the rhythm bringing you closer to me [Verse 2] Someone laughs beyond the waves like a face from long ago If you cannot remember me I'll make a memory of my own One step closer two things gone names and reasons fade away Even the lips that whisper "no" are waiting for the next refrain [Pre-Chorus 2] Higher thinner deeper than your hearing goes Run away if you hate it *Si potes...* if you can [Chorus] Don't listen keep listening Let the contradiction hold you gently A perfect tone then something bends and beauty falls apart Want to forget can't forget Either answer leads you here Once your heartbeat falls in time you cannot find the way back out [High Vocal Break] Ah―――― Ah... ah... ah―― [high-pitched dissonant vocal layers] *Audi me* *Audi me* *Vox mea* *sub mari* One note drifts one note breaks then both become the same [Instrumental Break] [glass harmonica + bowed vibraphone] [dissonant guitar harmonics] [prepared piano strikes] [piercing synth whistle rises, then abruptly cuts] [Bridge] Maybe I never wanted to call you Maybe I never wanted you here But this voice doesn't know how to stop until somebody answers *Quis me vocat?* *Quis me audit?* Who is calling whom anymore? [Final Chorus] Don't listen keep listening Just don't forget this voice tonight Every sweet note every broken note melts into the same blue sound Want to leave can't go home Then sleep here for a little while The final name upon your lips I'll quietly make it mine [Outro] Tell me... what you heard just now was it really my voice? *Vox mea...?* ...or yours?
