Modern gothic melodic metalcore, 142 BPM, D minor, 4/4. Female vocalist with extreme range: deep cleans, breathy lows, dark melodies, angelic highs, gritty distortion, sharp screams, mid screams and deep guttural growls. Clean vocals represent Des; distorted whispers, screams and growls represent the hostile voice inside her mind. Dramatic pitch shifts and layered clean/harsh vocals. Drop-tuned guitars, palm-muted chugs, syncopated riffs, haunting piano, dark leads, deep bass, punchy drums, double-kick and crushing half-time breakdown. Dark synths, industrial textures and electronic pulses. Fragile piano intro, intimate clean verse, distorted interruptions, rising pre-chorus, huge melodic chorus, darker second verse, aggressive breakdown, vulnerable bridge and massive final confrontation between soaring cleans, screams and growls. Dark, psychological, haunting and cathartic. Theme: battling self-doubt and the cruel inner voice saying you are not enough, until Des confronts it.

Prompt:
[INTRO] [Fragile piano] [Dark atmospheric synth] [Deep breathy female vocals] [Very subtle whispered layers] There's a voice I can't escape, Whispering beneath my name. Every night it finds me, Every silence sounds the same. I close my eyes, But it's still there. [Distorted whisper] "You're not enough..." [VERSE 1] [Deep intimate clean vocals] [Soft piano and atmospheric clean guitars] [Subtle electronic pulse] I know the words before they come, I know exactly what you'll say. Every weakness, every failure, Every reason I should fade. You tell me I'm a burden, That I'm better left unseen. You turn every little doubt Into everything I shouldn't be. [Quiet distorted whisper] "Nobody wants you here." I try to drown you in the silence, But you only scream inside. And every time I start believing, You remind me why I hide. [PRE-CHORUS] [Emotional clean vocals] [Increasing vocal intensity] [Dark guitars building] [Whispered distorted layers] Maybe I'm broken, Maybe you're right. Maybe the darkness Is all that's left inside. But something underneath you Is starting to breathe. And for the first time, I'm listening to me. [CHORUS] [Powerful soaring clean female vocals] [Full band enters] [Massive melodic guitars] [Layered screamed backing vocals] There's a voice inside, Telling me to disappear. There's a voice inside, Feeding every single fear. But I won't let it take my name, I won't let it make me hate Every piece of who I am. There's a voice inside... But it isn't me. [VERSE 2] [Deep clean vocals with subtle distortion] [Darker guitars] [Short scream accents] [More aggressive drums] You learned to speak through every wound, You learned to sound just like my own. You wear my voice so perfectly, Sometimes I can't tell who's talking. [Distorted whisper] "Look at you." [Clean vocal] I know what you're doing. [Low growl] "You're nothing." [Clean vocal, stronger] I'm not listening. Every mirror becomes a battlefield, Every thought another knife. You keep telling me I'm broken, Like I'm supposed to hate my life. [Sharp scream] BUT I KNOW YOU'RE LYING. [PRE-CHORUS 2] [Clean vocals becoming gritty] [Emotional vocal cracks] [Strong drums] [Rising distorted guitars] You fed on every weakness, You grew inside my fear. You made me hate the person I was terrified to hear. But I can feel the walls collapse, I can feel you losing ground. [Layered scream] YOU DON'T CONTROL ME NOW. [CHORUS 2] [Soaring angelic clean vocals] [Harsh screamed layers] [Huge guitars] [Driving drums] [Wide atmospheric synths] There's a voice inside, Telling me to disappear. There's a voice inside, Feeding every single fear. But I won't let it take my name, I won't let it make me hate Every piece of who I am. There's a voice inside... But it isn't me. [BREAKDOWN] [Sudden silence] [Deep distorted pulse] [Half-time drums] [Ultra-heavy down-tuned chugs] [Deep guttural growls] [No clean vocals] [Distorted whisper] You're weak. [Deep growl] NO. [Distorted whisper] You're worthless. [Low growl] NO. [Distorted whisper] You're nothing without me. [Massive scream] I SAID NO! [Deep guttural growl] YOU'RE THE VOICE... [Full band impact] [Deep growl] NOT MY SOUL. [BRIDGE] [Everything drops away] [Fragile piano] [Almost whispered clean vocals] What if I stop fighting you? What if I stop running away? What if I look into the darkness And finally see your face? [Distorted whisper] "Then you'll see yourself." [Silence] [Soft clean vocal] Maybe that's what I was afraid of. [Emotional vocal rising] Maybe you were never something I needed to destroy... Maybe you were every wound I never learned to understand. [FINAL PRE-CHORUS] [Clean vocals gradually becoming powerful] [Distorted layers answering each line] [Full drums building] You are the fear, I am the voice. You are the doubt, I make the choice. You can scream, You can tear, You can tell me I'm not enough. [High scream] BUT I KNOW WHO I AM. [FINAL CHORUS] [Maximum vocal range] [Angelically soaring clean lead] [Layered high screams] [Deep growls underneath key phrases] [Massive guitars] [Cinematic synths] [Huge emotional climax] There's a voice inside, But I don't have to disappear. There's a voice inside, But I don't have to live in fear. You can haunt me, You can scream, You can tell me what you think I am. But I won't become your lies. [Soaring clean vocal] I AM MORE THAN YOUR VOICE! [Layered scream] I AM MORE THAN YOUR FEAR! [Deep growl] I AM STILL HERE! [OUTRO] [Heavy instruments fading] [Fragile piano returns] [Deep intimate clean vocals] [Soft distorted whisper underneath] There's still a voice inside... But now... [Whispered clean vocal] I know it's not me.
