Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] We were just kids in the crossfire Laughing at the danger like it can’t find us Now it’s quiet in the seats where my friends sat Names carved in the desk, I still tap that Brothers in dust Same blood, same bus, then the brakes cut I can smell that night when I close my eyes Metal in my mouth, someone else’s cries They call it lucky that I lived through But every mirror in the house says I killed you Every heartbeat, every flash, every siren Got a graveyard walking round inside me [Chorus] Brothers in dust, I still hear you calling Adrenaline rush, now I just feel falling Survivor’s guilt, it’s a weight, it’s a coffin Internal demons screaming in the silence, often Loss in my lungs, I breathe that trauma Paralyzed soul, playing dead in the drama Hollow in the chest where my heart got spilled I ain’t scared of death, I’m scared I never heal (never heal) [Verse 2] Therapist asking me the same things “Tell me how you feel” — I don’t feel a thing I just see your shoes in the hospital light Mud on the laces that never got wiped Mom saying “baby, it was not your fault” But I was the one who said “let’s go, come on” Every joke that night is a sharpened blade Every “it’ll be fine” is a bad charade I got ghosts in my throat when I try to pray Got a life on lease that I didn’t pay If I smile in a photo, it twists my gut How can I move on when you’re still stuck? [Chorus] Brothers in dust, I still hear you calling Adrenaline rush, now I just feel falling Survivor’s guilt, it’s a weight, it’s a coffin Internal demons screaming in the silence, often Loss in my lungs, I breathe that trauma Paralyzed soul, playing dead in the drama Hollow in the chest where my heart got spilled I ain’t scared of death, I’m scared I never heal (never heal) [Bridge] I keep your jacket on the same old chair Can’t wash the stain, can’t scrub the air If I let go, does it mean I forget? If I forgive myself, is that disrespect? So I run in place, on this burning wheel Chasing every pain just to prove it’s real If I ever find peace, if the noise goes still Will you hate me for it Or would you want me to live?

rap, Dark cinematic rap with heavy, detuned piano octaves and hard, spacious drums; verses start almost whisper-rapped then swell into feral, double-time intensity. Sparse low strings and distant choirs creep in on the hook, adding dread. Aggressive male vocals with layered ad-libs on key punchlines; mix pushes the lead vocal raw and upfront with wide, shadowy reverb tails.
