Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Door half closed Light thin like a blade Cartoons still on But the room changed shape Plates on the table Glass on the floor Somebody breathing heavy Somebody locking doors Little hand shaking But it’s tucked in a sleeve Learned to disappear So they’d finally leave Counted every footstep Like it might be the last Whole life paused On a six-year past [Chorus] Basement echoes Still talk in my head (yeah) I grew up, but the house Never left my chest I walk through the world Like I’m still on trial Got a grown man face With a scared-kid smile Basement echoes Rattling the frame Try to sleep it off But it calls my name (calls my name) [Verse 2] Heard love in curses Heard care in a slap Photo on the mantle Didn’t show none of that Schoolyard questions “Why you always so quiet?” They didn’t see the nights I rehearsed every silence Stared at the ceiling Tracing cracks like maps Trying to find a way out Of a bedtime trap Thought it was normal Thought it was me Till I met another kid With the same cracked dream (uh) [Chorus] Basement echoes Still talk in my head I grew up, but the house Never left my chest I walk through the world Like I’m still on trial Got a grown man face With a scared-kid smile Basement echoes Rattling the frame Try to sleep it off But it calls my name [Bridge] I keep the lights on Even when it’s day (day) Still flinch at keys When they start to shake I’m learning new voices Soft, slow, kind Teaching that child He can step outside [Chorus] Basement echoes Still talk in my head But the sound gets small Every word I shed I walk through the world With a different stride Same old scars But they glow this time Basement echoes Fading from the frame I’m rewriting the house When I say my name (say my name)

rap, Dark ambient rap with distant vinyl hiss, low drones, and a sparse, detuned bell loop. Dry male vocals right in front of the mix, close and confessional. Reverb swells on key phrases; choruses bloom with eerie choir pads and a warped bass swell that drags the tempo down, like memory glitching. Occasional whispered doubles and panned ad-libs to feel like voices in the room., ambient, dark ambient
