[Intro: Quiet, dusty vinyl crackle, dark piano, heartbeat] [Verse - whispered, close mic] Dust on the shelf in the back of the shop, Ugly leather, stitching like it never gon' stop, Bound in skin that shouldn't be sewn, Price tag bleeding, man I shoulda left it alone. [Intro: Building drums, footsteps, keys jingling - voice getting tense] I pay the man, tuck it under my coat, Cold wind hit me like a hand on my throat, Beat buildin' as I'm walkin' to the crib, Shadows follow every step I live. [Pre-Drop: Book Whisper - Deep Evil Voice Effect - The BOOK Talking] [BOOK VOICE: slowed, demonic, layered] ...Open me... NeeKo... read me... ...You found me... [Verse 1: Fast flow, paranoid] Back at home, lights low, chair creak, Cracked it open, pages smell like old meat, Ink is movin', symbols that swim, Latin? No, somethin' older, grim. Shouldn't say it, but my lips start to move, Tongue twistin' on its own groove, "Zorath-kul, neh vatra mortem - IN VOKUM!" And the room went cold, then - [BEAT DROP: Heavy dubstep growl, 808s, wobble bass, scream ad-lib] [Chorus 1: Aggressive, half-sung hook] NOW THEY'RE IN THE WALLS, IN THE FLOORS, IN MY HEAD! Pages turnin' on they own, words I never read! Tried to toss it, tried to drown it, now I'm seein' red! I got the Book of the Dead and the dead want me dead! [Verse 2: Faster flow, torment begins] Night one, can't sleep, scratchin' at the door, Whispers under bed, shadows on the floor, Burned it in the sink, lighter fluid, flame, Woke up next mornin' - book back, same damn stain. [BOOK VOICE: Deep, amused, demonic Voice FX] Burn me? You can't burn what was never written. Feed me. Speak me. You are smitten. Turn the page. Let us in deeper. You are the lock. You are the keeper. Tryna pray but my voice come out backwards, Mirrors fog, and my face ain't my face first, Hands shake, eyes black like a tunnel, Hear 'em laughin' through the bathroom funnel. Tried holy water, tried salt lines, They just drank it up, said "more time." [Hook: Chopped vocal, dubstep stutter] Can't - can't - can't escape it, Page - page - page keep turnin', Trapped - trapped in the basement, Of my mind, and it's burnin' [Chorus 2: Bigger, with growl bass] NOW THEY'RE IN THE WALLS, IN THE FLOORS, IN MY HEAD! Voices tellin' me to do what the dead once said! "Cut it, carve it, bleed it, let it spread!" I got the Book of the Dead and the dead want me dead! [Bridge: Days go by - Beat strips to piano + distorted 808, tired flow] Day three, no food, eyes sunk, Skin grey, brain playin' like it's drunk, Day five, I ain't me no more, Scratchin' scripture in the bedroom floor. Book won't close, it's breathin' on my chest, Tellin' me who to kill next. [BOOK VOICE: Commanding, ritualistic] Take the knife. Open the vein. Write my name. End your pain. Give me the body. Give me the bone. You were never alone. [Verse 3: Possession battle - Fastest flow, double-time, desperate] NO! Get out, get out, get out my skull! This ain't yours, man, this my soul! Fightin' back with the last bit of light, But the growl in the bass match the growl in my night! He laughin' now, voice inside mine, Two tongues talkin' at the same time! [DEMON VOICE: Wicked, guttural, hunting - Dubstep growl sync] I'M COMING FOR YOU, BOY. RUN NOWHERE. I SMELL YOUR FEAR, BOY. I AM HERE. YOUR SKIN IS MY COAT. YOUR BONES MY THRONE. GIVE IT. GIVE IT. GIVE IT. YOU'RE GONE. [Chorus 3: Possession Chorus - Distorted, half demon voice] THEY'RE IN MY SKIN, IN MY SOUL, IN MY HEAD! NO MORE ME, JUST THE THING THAT I FED! HE TOOK THE HANDS, HE TOOK THE THREADS! I had the Book of the Dead, now the dead got me dead! [Outro: Epic Possession - Beat slows, heavy cinematic dubstep, breathing] [Normal voice fades out, demon voice fades IN - final takeover] [Voice: weak, losing] ...somebody... help... can't... [BOOK VOICE + DEMON VOICE: layered, victorious, evil laugh] Thank you... for reading... [DEMON VOICE: Full takeover, wicked, calm] Finally... warm again. This body... fits. I... am... home. [End: Book slam SFX, deep sub drop, whisper: "Turn the page..."]
