Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cold air on the porch
Jack-o’-lantern grin
Half scorched
Zipper stuck on my plastic cape
Mom’s old flannel as a makeshift cape
Rubber mask smelling like a tire
Eye holes wrong
But I feel higher
Breathing sweat
Can barely see
Still convinced I'm anything I wanna be
[Chorus]
Take me back to the plastic masks and pillowcases
Ashy streetlights
Sugar racing through our faces
Cartoon capes
Dollar-store tape
Running wild on the block like it was outer space
Yeah
It never felt fake
Cheap costumes
Real magic anyway
[Verse 2]
Neighbor’s bowl with the taped-on note
"Just take one" as the lies caught in my throat
Knees all bruised on the dead leaf ground
Sneaker laces dragging
Kicking wrappers around
Store-bought fangs that would never stay in
Cardboard sword that could barely swing
But the night hit different when the screen door slammed
Every creak on the sidewalk felt like a marching band
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Now it’s armor sets and perfect seams
LED masks
Choreographed screams
Scrollin’ through it all like it’s just routine
But I miss that crooked house on Maple Street
That chill in my lungs
Paper bags splitting
Me and my friends
All lopsided villains
[Chorus]

Prompt
2000s rock, the feeling of Halloween as a kid back in the 80s and 90s. The crisp air that felt different. The cheap costumes that were some how better than the expensive ones we have now.
