voice in my head

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
