voice in my head
Stimmen: NOX & GRIM · ~67 BPM
Der Song, der die Dualität wörtlich nimmt: Die Stimme im Kopf IST GRIM. Sie fängt als Flüstern an und wird lauter, bis sie NOX übertönt. Das Grauen ist kein Dämon — es ist, dass die Stimme ihn besser kennt als jeder andere.
Songtext
Intro — police scanner
> Regieangabe aus der Urfassung, kein gesungener Text: *(static)* am Ende des Abschnitts. dispatch — got a welfare call, unit responding male subject, alone in the apartment neighbors say he's been talking to someone… there's nobody in there with him
Intro 2 — NOX, whispered
the static's back second heartbeat, wrong side of my skull
Verse 1 — NOX
there it is again, that fucking voice in my head like a cockroach in my bones it whispers, it hisses — an off-key siren i can't shake this shit, coming unglued it knows me better than i know myself a tumor growing in the folds of my brain razorblade fingers crawling through my veins tapping on the inside of my skull
Hook
the voice never goes quiet, no it never goes quiet in my mind, in my head it won't leave me alone
Verse 2 — NOX
i try to drown it out but it just keeps talking a mouth with no face behind my eyes teeth behind teeth chattering in the dark a second heartbeat thumping through my head a parasite inside me feeding on my thoughts it knows every dirty little secret i keep every lie and regret festering behind my teeth
Bridge — GRIM
i'm the voice that whispers when you're alone the one they say doesn't exist, but you hear it all the time the second set of footsteps when you think you're alone clinging to your skin like a shroud of mold you can wash me off but i always come back wearing your skin and rotting from within
Outro — GRIM
there's no escaping what lives inside your head NOX is the silence, I'm the voice underneath
