03 The Voice That Rules Me

STUDIO

[Titel: The Voice That Rules Me] [Intro] [distorted electric guitar chugging, double-kick drums] [Verse 1] You make the rules you cannot keep. You build the walls you hide beneath. You want control of everything, because inside you feel so weak. [Pre-Chorus] Every mirror turns against you. Every word becomes a wound. [Chorus] [full band, aggressive shouting] Now you're losing control. You don't rule yourself. Go within. Take it back. That voice is not the truth. It tells you you're worthless. It tells you you will fail. But the voice inside your head doesn't get to write the end. [Verse 2] Your body moves but you feel numb. Every battle already lost. You hear them laugh before they speak. You call yourself the weakest one. [Pre-Chorus 2] You expect the fall. You expect the shame. So every little failure starts to sound the same. [Chorus 2] [aggressive shouting] You are drawn to misery because it's what you know. Every scar inside your mind keeps telling you to go. But death is not your destiny. Your eyes are not yet blind. You can still come home again if you stop believing every lie. [Bridge] [heavy guitar riffs] You were never born to hate yourself. You learned the words. You learned the fear. You learned to hear the worst in you until the worst was all you heard. [Breakdown] NO! You are not the voice. NO! You are not the shame. NO! You are not the failure they taught you to become. [Last Chorus] [aggressive shouting] Now you're taking control. You can rule yourself. Go within. Take it back. The hatred loses power. That voice can scream. That voice can lie. But you decide which one survives. You are still here. You are still alive. And that is where you begin. [Outro] The voice said: "You are nothing." I believed it for too long. Now I know... it was only a voice. [feedback swell, abrupt stop]
