My attempt at a spooky song. What happens when the inner voice, rhe one you keep under lock and key, becomes your actual voice?

WHICH ONE OF US [Intro — Close, Intimate Male Vocal; Sparse Piano] There used to be a voice in here At least, that's how I remember it It spoke when I was alone I haven't been alone in years [Verse 1] He waits behind my eyes at night And watches when I sleep He knows the names I've buried He knows the ones I keep Sometimes I catch him laughing Though I never hear a sound Sometimes I feel him standing When no one else is around I asked him what he wanted He said, "You already know" I asked him when he found me He said, "I never go" [Pre-Chorus] There's a stranger in the mirror And he wears my tired face I swear I saw him smiling Before my lips had changed [Chorus] Which one of us is talking? Which one of us is still? Which one is holding on here? Which one bends the will? I know the sound of my own voice I know the thoughts I trust There's me And then there's something else There's always been two of us [Verse 2] He says I misremember The night he first appeared He says I was the whisper And he was always here I tell him that's impossible I know the way it went He laughs and asks me softly "Are you sure that's what I meant?" There's smoke against the ceiling A cigarette burns low I don't remember lighting it He says I always smoke [Pre-Chorus — Slightly Altered] There's a stranger in the mirror And I wear his tired face I swear I saw him smiling Before my lips had changed [Chorus — Subtle Changes] Which one of us is talking? Which one of us sits still? Which one is holding on here? Which one is the will? I knew the sound of my own voice I knew the thoughts I'd trust There's him And then there's something else There's always been one of us [Instrumental — Piano Becomes Uneven; Distant Violin Enters] [Bridge — Two Nearly Identical Male Voices, Slowly Becoming Indistinguishable] "You let me in." No. "You called my name." No. "You asked for this." I never— "You needed me." I needed— "You wanted me." I wanted— [Pause] Who said that? [Low Voice] Does it matter? [Final Verse — Calm, Almost Comfortable] The room is getting quieter Or maybe I've gone still The mirror stopped correcting me The silence feels familiar The cigarette is dying Between these fingers—mine I watch the ember fading And smile at what we find [Final Chorus — Soft, No Longer Questioning] Which one of us was talking? Which one of us was still? Which one was holding on here? Which one became the will? I knew the sound of my own voice Or thought I knew enough There's me And then there's— [Music abruptly stops] [Spoken — Quiet, Almost Amused] I stopped asking which one of us was real. [Long Pause] He did too.
