Midnight Echoes

Lyrics

[Verse 1](Rhythmic, low-toned, rap-adjacent flow) ​Neon bleeding through a cracked-glass windshield, Counting down the hours just to see if the skin heals. Two AM, static on the radio dial, You only hit my phone when you’re running out of style. Blacked-out rims, tracing lines on the asphalt, Burning through the memories and claiming it’s my fault. I’m a shadow in the rearview, fading to grey, Chasing down a ghost just to throw it away. You want it rough, but you pull back the tension, Left my name dead in your second dimension. ​[Pre-Chorus](Vocal drops low, heavy sub-bass swells) ​Yeah, the city gets cold when the lights come down… And the only thing left is a hollow sound. You’re a habit I break just to bleed again. Tell me, where does the dark begin? ​[Chorus](Melancholic, emotional, rock-tinged vocals with massive reverb/echo) ​Run, baby, run, but you're running in place, I can see the panic written all over your face. Lost in the static of a late-night view, I'm sick of chasing me while I’m chasing you. Caught in the echo of a phantom spark, We’re just two blind eyes dancing in the dark. ​[Verse 2](Detached, slowed-and-reverbed delivery) ​Toxicity tasting like a sweet liquorice, Drowning out the noise, put my mind on a hit list. Cyber-sigils bleeding through the fabric of the coat, Got a heavy-set anchor sitting right in my throat. You love the thrill of the crash but you hate the debris, Locking up the chains then you toss me the key. Now the engine is purring, the skyline is bleak, Another empty promise that we keep every week. ​[Chorus](Massive vocal layering, heavy distorted bassline hitting hard) ​Run, baby, run, but you're running in place, I can see the panic written all over your face. Lost in the static of a late-night view, I'm sick of chasing me while I’m chasing you. Caught in the echo of a phantom spark, We’re just two blind eyes dancing in the dark. ​[Outro](Slowed, chopped-and-screwed effect, vocals fading out into heavy echo) ​Dancing in the dark... Yeah, you pull away... but you can't get enough. Chasing you... Chasing... you. (Sub-bass pulses one last time, trailing into static)
