Hide and Seek

(rock, indie rock with dark pop undertones; driving bassline with atmospheric synths; distorted guitars cutting in and out; a touch of haunting soul in the vocals; male vocals with a sharp, modern edge; layered texture blending edm pulse and raw metal riffs, art pop, indie rock, pop, metal, soul, edm)

Footsteps blur, the pavement breathes

Neon flickers, won’t look at me

Jaw clenched tight, the second hand bleeds

Chasing ghosts that don’t believe

Streetlights blink like broken prayers

Every turn says don’t go there

Echoes carve your name in flame, in flame

I’m alone but wear the blame

Hide and seek, I’m losing sleep

Heartbeats buried six feet deep

Hide and seek, your rules run deep

You hunt the love you’ll never keep

Corners bend, the walls inhale

Promises rot inside the tale

Smoke-thin truths under your nails

Every path leads straight to jail

Hands reach out, then pull away

You love the chase, not what you say

Ceilings drop, the air caves in

This rigged game—you always win

Hide and seek, I’m losing sleep

Caught where doubt and darkness meet

Hide and seek, your rules run deep

But I won’t be the one you keep

Count me out, I’m done being found

I won’t bleed just to stick around

You love the fear, you love the doubt

I’m stepping out—I’m stepping out

(Outro)

Counting down, I disappear

You can’t find me when I’m clear

No more hiding, no more seek

I’m not yours to make me weak
