85: INT. RECORDING STUDIO DAY FADE IN:
Four months later, December 1st, 1984. Roxanne and the girls have officially become Mötley Crüe's backup singers and are now recording a demo tape under Nikki's guidance.
ROXANNE: (To herself) "In the months following Monsters Of Rock, the girls and I have been gaining some notoriety as the Mötley Gürls. Nikki thinks we could really have something special here. Ever since they got back from touring, Nikki's been insisting we record a full demo tape, so we decided to officially get our little group back together, now under a new name- "Evanescence"."
NIKKI: Ok, you girls ready to rock?
ROXANNE: Ready. Nikki, you wanna join in on the intro?
NIKKI: Yeah, what is this called again?
ROXANNE: "Origin", It's just a little intro I wrote to lead into the first song.
NIKKI: Alright, let's do it.
Nikki played the opening track, using clips of something that sounded like it came out of the Twilight Zone.
NIKKI: (Spoken) You hold the answer deep within your own mind.
DAPHNE: (Spoken) Death in it's most hideous form!
The track segues into "Whisper".
ROXANNE: (Starts singing)
[Verse 1]
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me
Into madness
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
[Chorus]
Don't turn away (Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)
[Verse 2]
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears [Pre-Chorus]
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away [Chorus]
Don't turn away (Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)
[Verse 3]
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me, I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in?
Upon my end, shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end
[Chorus]
Don't turn away (Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)
NIKKI: That was great guys, that was really great. What's next?
ROXANNE: "Imaginary".
NIKKI: Let's do it.
Roxanne sat down at the piano and began playing the intro to "Imaginary".
