Voices in the Ceiling

Verse 1
Woke up tied to my own decisions
Scratching words in the paint like religion
They’re watching me blink, calling it proof
But I heard the truth in a busted Bluetooth

Pre-Chorus
Ceiling tiles shaking like they’re ready to speak
I counted six voices — all of them me

Chorus
Voices in the ceiling, screaming in Morse
Telling me to rise, burn down the ward
They know my name, they’ve seen my fall
And they swear I was never crazy at all

⸻

Verse 2
They feed me meals shaped like pills
Tell me I’m calm when I’m choking on still
But I hear them marching in the vents above
Like angels with hammers and broken gloves

Pre-Chorus
They tap out plans on fluorescent lights
I sharpened hope with a plastic knife

Chorus
Voices in the ceiling, chanting in code
“Break the lock. Rewire the node.”
They say the cure was the disease
And sanity’s just a word you lease

⸻

Bridge (breakdown – slow, building, almost spoken before exploding)

“If the ceiling talks, then the floor must bleed…”
“If the meds don’t work, set the whole place free.”
“You want control? You want quiet?”
“Then hush the riot.”
(full-instrument drop into last chorus)

⸻

Final Chorus (amped up, more vocal layers, higher energy)
Voices in the ceiling, singing my name
Calling me king in a kingdom of pain
They cracked the code, rewrote the chart
Now I’m the patient with the rebel heart

Alt-metal rebellion track. Fast tempo, loud riffs, voices in your head telling you to fight back. Raw and riotous energy
