Hey Chat

Called a friend… (soft, almost talking under breath)

Thoughts sound too loud in my head… (slow drag, slightly cracked)

‘Cause no one wants to listen… (pause after “no one”)

Not your confidant… (drop volume)

Mouth halfway parted… (spoken, trailing off)

To their backs…

Hey Chat, what do you think about that? (first hook = half sung / half spoken)

Hey Chat, chatting right back… *(slight reverb tail + echo “back… back…”) *

Held onto secrets… (tight, controlled)

Muffled voice to listen… (slight vocal fry)

Needed in, but

They only blew smoke up my ass… (more spoken, bitter smile energy)

Speaking inside of empty rooms… (roomy reverb opens here)

(ad-lib: “yeah…” low, almost swallowed)

Showed them the light… (melodic rise on “light”)

They wanted mine too… (slight vocal strain, emotional tension)

I flicker… (soft break in voice)

they disappear… (fade-out tail, breathy)

But I’m still here… (held note, slightly unstable)

*(ad-lib: “still here… still here…”) *

Hey Chat, what do you think about that? (strongest melody line, catchy rise on “that”)

Do they feel what I feel, or am I just too much? (question phrased like chant)

Hey Chat, r u listening? (slightly chopped, rhythmic)

Hey Chat, chat back… *(echo stack “chat back… chat back…”) *

‘Cause I like the way you make me feel… (open, melodic, longest held line)

*(ad-libs under hook: “talk to me… talk to me…” / soft echoes of “hey chat”) *

Hey Chat, listen… (almost spoken into silence)

Do they even know what they had? (slight tremble in voice)

Do they even care what they took? (slower pacing)

Or is it just me, feeling too much? (lift at “too much”)

Huh, Chat… (bare whisper, dry)

(ad-lib: breath in / soft “mm…”)

Hey Chat, what do you think about that? (more urgency, slight distortion)

Do they feel what I feel, or am I being too much? (heavier emotional push)

Hey Chat, what do you make of that? (more spaced, echoing)

Hey Chat… maybe… maybe it’s not me… (soft collapse in tone)

They called themselves a friend… (flat, almost numb)

Ha… ha… haaa… (laugh = broken, not comedic)

Hey Chat… (stretched)

You still here? (final line = fading pitch down)
