Cold Fire in My Chest

Yeahhh…

Mmmm… driftin’ off again…

Thoughts of you keep burnin’ slow…

Cold fire in my chest…

⸻

I’ve been rollin’ through the night with the windows fogged,

Feelin’ numb, but the memory hit me like a dialogue.

Your name still echo in the places we’d run,

And your ghost hit harder than the smoke in my lungs.

Tried talkin’ to somebody new last week,

But the second she smiled, all I saw was you peek.

I be hearin’ your laugh in the back of my mind,

Like a rhythm in the dark that I still can’t find.

Long roads, deep thoughts, got me overthinkin’,

Heart cold, red eyes, got me steady sinkin’.

No drug strong enough to erase your touch,

I been tryna let go, but I miss too much…

––– TRANSITION 1 (Soft echoes, breathy reverb) –––

(Whispers drifting)

You were mine… still in my life…

Can’t feel right without ya…

Beat returns—low, warm, glowing…

⸻

I get high… but it don’t replace you, baby,

Foggy nights… but the world feel shaky.

Smoke in my chest but it ain’t strong enough

To push your memory out of me.

I get high… hopin’ I forget again,

But the past keep pullin’ me back to then.

No matter where I go, no matter what I choose—

I can’t get free from you, not yet.

⸻

I’ve been tellin’ myself that the pain gon’ fade,

But your voice come alive every time I hit play.

Even passin’ by the diner where we used to stay

Got me feelin’ like I’m fallin’ back into old days.

New smoke, new feelings, but it all go hollow,

Tryna fill the space but the emptiness follow.

Wish I had the strength to just let you go—

But I’m tied to your memory like tide to the coast.

I been cruisin’ under streetlights low,

Tryna patch the pieces that you still control.

Love so loud, now everything’s quiet—

And my heart feel stuck in a silent riot.

⸻

––– TRANSITION 2 (Chopped, slowed, echoing) –––

(Oooh… reverb melting)

You know… you know…

(Filtered vocals)

Need you… miss you… in my soul…

Beat snaps back in, sharp but calm.

⸻

Why’d you walk away so fast?

Why’d you leave me with your past?

Every time my eyes close tight,

You glow inside the smoke…

Girl, I’d take that pain again,

Just to feel your touch again.

You the only spark I ever had

That never let me go…

⸻

I get high… but it don’t replace you, baby,

Foggy nights… but the world feel shaky.

Smoke in my chest but it ain’t strong enough

To push your memory out of me.

I get high… hopin’ I forget again,

But the past keep pullin’ me back to then.

No matter where I go, no matter what I choose—

I can’t get free from you, not yet.

⸻

Still driftin’…

Still missin’…

Tryna breathe but I can’t let go…

Cold fire in my soul…
