Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Clock on the wall Pulls you away from me Red numbers fall Like they’re bleeding quietly Your shadow moves Down the hallway Out of reach I bite my tongue Every second Every beat [Chorus] Time keeps slipping past my fingers While your perfume on my shirt still lingers I just wanna hold you Hold you Before the night runs through I just wanna kiss you in this silence Break this gentle Aching quiet But the words stay frozen at my lips As the minutes steal our chance to exist [Verse 2] You laugh too soft Like you’re scared of waking dreams Your eyes drift off Somewhere I can’t really see I trace your hand But I stop before you know I practice love In the space of letting go [Chorus] Time keeps slipping past my fingers While your perfume on my shirt still lingers I just wanna hold you Hold you Before the night runs through I just wanna kiss you in this silence Break this gentle Aching quiet But the words stay frozen at my lips As the minutes steal our chance to exist [Bridge] If I said it now Would it pull you closer Or push you out Into some colder world So I count the breaths Between your every blink Hoping you can hear All the things I never speak (yeah) [Chorus] Time keeps slipping past my fingers While your perfume on my shirt still lingers I just wanna hold you Hold you Before the night runs through I just wanna kiss you in this silence Cancel every cruel distance But the words stay frozen at my lips As the minutes steal our chance to exist

Moody darkwave / synthwave ballad, male vocals almost whispered. Slow tempo with pulsing analog bass, gated reverb on a minimal kick and snare. Glassy arps and chorus-drenched pads create a hazy, late-night glow. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; choruses bloom with wider stereo synths and soft, layered whispers. Subtle distortion and tape warble add ache., slow, sad
