Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wake up, same ceiling, same crack in the paint
Phone screen, bad news, scroll past, feel faint
Graduated last year, still stuck at my mom's place
Twenty in my pocket, twenty storms in my brain
Friends flex new jobs, new cars, new chains
I got old shoes, overdraft, migraines
They say "it gets better," I say "when?"
Checking my reflection like, "who is this then?"
[Chorus]
I'm just a kid in a grown-up costume
Heart too big for this tiny bedroom
Tryna make rent, tryna make sense
Of a world that don’t wait, don't care if I bend
Walking this twenty-something tightrope
One slip from giving up hope
But I keep my head up, eyes low
Just tryna get through life, slow
[Verse 2]
Group chat lighting up, I leave it on read
Can't tell them I'm drowning in my own head
Smile in the photos, filter on my face
Cry in the bathroom, water hides the trace
Dad says "work hard," mom says "just pray"
Therapist on Wi-Fi once every two days
They ask "what's wrong?" I say "I'm fine"
Cuz how do you explain a war with no sides?
[Chorus]
I'm just a kid in a grown-up costume
Heart too big for this tiny bedroom
Tryna make rent, tryna make sense
Of a world that don’t wait, don't care if I bend
Walking this twenty-something tightrope
One slip from giving up hope
But I keep my head up, eyes low
Just tryna get through life, slow
[Bridge]
If I make it past tonight (yeah)
Promise I’ll be kind, at least to myself this time
If I make it past this year (this year)
Maybe I’ll forgive that scared kid in the mirror
[Chorus]
I'm just a kid in a grown-up costume
Heart too big for this tiny bedroom
Tryna make rent, tryna make sense
Of a world that don’t wait, don't care if I bend
Walking this twenty-something tightrope
One slip from giving up hope
But I keep my head up, eyes low
Just tryna get through life, slow (so slow)

Style
rap, Moody emo rap over hazy guitar loop and punchy trap drums, male vocals. Intimate, almost whispered verses with close-mic confessional tone; hook opens wider with layered doubles and a distant, reverb-soaked harmony. Sub-bass swells under the chorus, occasional distorted ad-libs tucked in the sides. Final chorus pulls back the beat for the last lines, leaving guitar and vocal hanging in the air., emo, hip hop
