Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coolly putting stamps on graves names lined up like unpaid debts I read each stone like a failed exam all the questions I never addressed Got ghosts that remember my posture how I laughed when I should’ve broke how I shrugged off shaking hands when the room was filling with smoke Now they ride in the rearview mirrors chin on my shoulder at red lights ask me, "You proud of the monster?" while I stare straight ahead, too tight Yeah, I walk past the wilted flowers like I'm checking a box, not a heart I was raised to outrun the thunder then found out the storm’s in the dark [Chorus] I feel it in the air tonight every grudge I tried to bury still fights all these ghosts I keep inviting inside sit me down in my own dread I feel it in the air tonight all the words I never spoke take flight every step I take through terror feels right when I’m marching with the dead [Verse 2] I talk to the stones like they’re listening pour out blame like cheap wine say, "You made me cold, you made me cruel" they stay quiet every time Truth is, I forged my own shackles polished that iron till it shined wore my damage like a diamond chain said, "I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine" I was busy being bitter, not better sharp tongue, soft spine, hard eyes every promise I tossed in the gutter grew teeth and came back in disguise Now fear ain’t a wall, it’s a hallway I stride through the shaking floor if the past wants a piece of my pulse it can meet me at the door (come on) [Chorus] I feel it in the air tonight every grudge I tried to bury still fights all these ghosts I keep inviting inside sit me down in my own dread I feel it in the air tonight all the lies I told myself turn bright every step I take through terror feels right when I’m marching with the dead [Bridge] Cool hands, hot rage (yeah) ink smears on the page every stamp another cage but I walk through it Cool breath, locked jaw I’ve been guilty of it all still I answer when they call and I talk through it (talk through it) [Chorus] I feel it in the air tonight every grudge I tried to bury still fights all these ghosts I keep inviting inside sit me down in my own dread I feel it in the air tonight if redemption ever comes, it bites so I stride through fear, through the shattered light with these stamps on graves in my head

rap, Dark, spacious rap ballad with male vocals; slow, stalking tempo over deep toms and pulsing sub bass, echoing synth pads and distant choral swells. Verses almost whispered at first, then growl into rasped intensity; hook opens wide with reverb-drenched harmonies and a simple, ominous piano figure. Final chorus strips to vocal and pads, drum hits dropping out for a haunting fade., deep
