A recorded reading of “The Second Face”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
I was once just one, a single thought, A name the mirror never fought. But something stirred beneath my skin, A voice that slithered deep within. At first, a whisper, soft, benign, A shadow stitched along my spine. Then teeth took root, my flesh was torn, A second face—awake, reborn. She grins where I would twist and hide, She speaks in tongues I’ve locked inside. Her laughter drips like molten tar, Each word a wound, each breath a brand. My lips still move, yet not my own, My bones betray, my pulse has flown. She wears my skin, devours my soul, A puppeteer with no control. The world now tilts, the walls decay, Her hunger sways me, begs to stay. I scream, I scratch, but fate is laced— With every breath, I am erased. Now two stare back where one once stood, The mirror laughs—I knew it would.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: Slow, ominous—piano chords echo, heartbeat-like bass, whispered vocals.] (I was once just one… just one…) A single thought, a hollow name, A mirror’s love, a mirror’s shame. [Verse 1: Creeping tension—low, whispered delivery, swelling guitars.] But something stirred beneath my skin, A voice that slithered deep within. At first, a whisper, soft, benign, A shadow stitched along my spine. [Pre-Chorus: Rising urgency—drums build, dissonant chords.] Then teeth took root, my flesh was torn, A second face—awake, reborn. [Chorus: Explosive, powerful—layered vocals, crashing drums, soaring guitars.] (She grins where I would twist and hide,) (She speaks in tongues I’ve locked inside.) Her laughter drips like molten tar, Each word a wound, each breath a brand. [Verse 2: Darker, more unhinged—guitars distort, vocals more desperate.] My lips still move, yet not my own, My bones betray, my pulse has flown. She wears my skin, devours my soul, A puppeteer with no control. [Bridge: Chaotic, eerie breakdown—off-kilter rhythms, whispered and screamed vocals layered.] (The world tilts… the walls decay…) Her hunger sways me, begs to stay. I scream, I scratch, but fate is laced— With every breath, I am erased. [Chorus: Even more intense—vocals soaring, instrumentation swelling to its peak.] (She grins where I would twist and hide,) (She speaks in tongues I’ve locked inside.) Her laughter drips like molten tar, Each word a wound, each breath a brand. [Outro: Fading, eerie—piano returns, vocals ghostly, fading into whispers.] Now two stare back where one once stood, The mirror laughs— (I knew it would…)
