Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Pulled up to the diner at 9 You walked out Same crooked smile Sun-faded band tee Chipped black paint You laughed "You still drive this wreck?" [Verse 2] We talked in overlapping lines Old dares Red dirt Busted knees You traced that scar on my right hand Said "I gave you that. Remember me?" [Chorus] You’re my childhood ghost in my passenger seat Turned to flesh and bone Kicking up heat Every old inside joke tastes like gasoline I was gone for years Now you’re burning through me Childhood ghost in my passenger seat [Verse 3] Late-night run past the edge of town Empty swings The rusted fence You stole my hoodie Arms pulled tight Said "Don’t you dare disappear again" [Pre-Chorus] Your eyes caught mine Held too long Something new under all the wrong All our summers in a single breath I felt the ground split in my chest [Chorus] You’re my childhood ghost in my passenger seat Turned to flesh and bone Kicking up heat Every old inside joke tastes like gasoline I was gone for years Now you’re burning through me Childhood ghost in my passenger seat [Bridge] [low vocal register] We used to swear we’d never change Scraped knees Plastic crowns in the rain Now your lipstick’s on my water glass And I’m afraid to make this moment pass [growl backing] If I say I want you Do I kill the past? If I stay silent Does this chance crash? [guitar solo] [Chorus]

metal, Hybrid progressive metal meets dark alternative R&B. Down-tuned polymeter guitars lock with a stuttering kick and sub bass; verses ride a spacious, moody pocket with close-mic’d male vocals and hazy synth pads. Choruses explode into wide, distorted stacks, double-kicked drums, and shout-along gang harmonies. Bridge flips to half-time, reverb-drenched guitar swells, then a final crushing chorus with octave vocals and a dissonant, ringing outro chord., alternative r&b, progressive metal, electric
