Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Yeah Rewind it Back then [Verse 1] Bike chain rattlin’ down the cul-de-sac Grass stains, Game Boy in a fanny pack Cartoons loud, cereal for dinner Didn’t know you could lose just by gettin’ bigger No bills in the mailbox, only birthday cards Only time I knew “broken” was a handlebar Sleepover on a Friday, sugar in my teeth Big dreams fit inside a Walkman sleeve [Chorus] I was livin’ easy, 90s on repeat Whole world small, all on my street Simple little heaven I could hold in my hands Now it’s inbox, deadlines, sinking in the sand I was livin’ easy, tame little sky Didn’t have a word yet for “want to cry” Now it’s blue light, jaw tight, scrolling through the night Tryna find that kid I left behind [Verse 2] Used to count clouds, now I count receipts Used to chase friends, now I chase sleep Mama in the kitchen hummin’ out of key Now it’s quiet ‘cause the rent eats melodies Backpacks, trapper keepers, notes I’d pass Now it’s passwords, locked doors, panic in my chest We thought monsters hid under the bedframe Now they sit in my chest and they know my name [Chorus] I was livin’ easy, 90s on repeat Whole world small, all on my street Simple little heaven I could hold in my hands Now it’s inbox, deadlines, sinking in the sand I was livin’ easy, tame little sky Didn’t have a word yet for “want to cry” Now it’s blue light, jaw tight, scrolling through the night Tryna find that kid I left behind [Bridge] If I could trade this suit for a starter jacket (yeah) Trade this coffee breath for stained lips, magic I’d take the scraped knees Over these quiet screams (oh) [Chorus] I was livin’ easy, 90s on repeat Whole world small, all on my street Simple little heaven I could hold in my hands Now it’s inbox, deadlines, sinking in the sand I was livin’ easy, tame little sky Didn’t have a word yet for “want to cry” Now it’s blue light, jaw tight, scrolling through the night Whisper to that kid I left behind (I’m tryin’) “I’m still here, I’m still tryin’ to find A little piece of that simple mind”

rap, Moody dark-ambient rap beat built from detuned pads, dusty vinyl textures, and a lazy swing groove; verses float in a hushed, close-mic male vocal, almost whispered, with filtered delays. Chorus opens with a deeper layered chant and widened reverbs, subby bass swells and distant choirs pulsing under a hypnotic, looping synth motif. Energy stays simmering, meditative, gradually thickening with subtle percussion and reversed FX toward the final hook., ambient, dark ambient, simple
