【Spoken】 [[Hoarse baritone, intimate, distant rain/train]] “Kept telling myself it was just a phase… till your dumbass smile fucked me up for good.” 【Hook】 [[Airy tenor, melodic, slight delay; Rhodes & pads]] Face in the train window, lookin’ half-dead Rain’s smearing the streetlights, blur like my head Small-town kid with a one-way ticket and a death wish Volume all the way up so the thoughts can’t catch me Face in the train window, lookin’ half-dead (yeah!) Blurred streets and flashing lights, I can’t forget 【Verse 1】 [[Breathy baritone, rhythmic; pads & guitar]] Tie’s hangin’ like I already dropped out Gates clang shut, middle finger to the crowd Crosswalk blinking like it’s tryna warn me Convenience store clerk knows my face, still cards me Tower on the hill glows like some fake-ass promise City’s close enough to taste, far enough to vomit Textbook says “future,” I just see overdue fines Reflection in the glass keeps asking who’s driving tonight 【Hook 2】 [[Punchy layered male; reverb & pads]] Same damn window, same dead-eyed stare What am I even running from back there? Small town, big mouth, zero follow-through Turn the beat up louder—maybe it’ll tell me the truth Same damn window, same dead-eyed stare (yeah!) I’m chasing something real, can’t stop, don’t care 【Verse 2】 [[Confident baritone; brushed drums & guitar]] Cypher behind the gym, spitting bars through braces Truth tastes like blood and cheap peach chasers Uniform in my bag smells like failure and sweat When the bell rings I’m already half-regretting this bet Walk home alone, leaves crunching like they’re laughing Mom’s gonna ask why my shoes are soaked—keep walking Before this night gets filed under “shit I survived” Carve my name in the fence so at least something stayed alive 【Bridge】 [[Soft fragile, half-rapped; airy pads]] Town’s so quiet I can hear my pulse fucking up Just a kid with headphones and a half-charged phone Hands shaking from the cold or from the comedown Either way I’m still here, still too scared to go home 【Final Hook】 [[Layered intense, shout-like; full pads & rain]] Window me’s got bruises I don’t remember getting Rain keeps falling like it’s trying to wash the regret in One town behind me, whole life still buffering Crank this shit one more time— maybe this time I’ll believe the fucking chorus Window me’s got bruises I don’t remember getting (yeah!) Rain keeps pouring, lights blur, I’m not forgetting 【Outro】 [[Airy soft, trailing off; fading pads & city]] Not the end. Just ran outta breath before I ran outta stupid. Not the end. Echoes fade but the story’s still lit.
