[Style: Rap/Pop]
Tempo: ~78 BPM
Mood: Spiraling, exhausted, brutally honest
[Intro (lo-fi acoustic + room noise)]
[(quiet hum… chair creak… deep breath)]
1 AM again…
[Verse 1]
I wanted to take a step back
Wanted to make something that lasts
Then I got told my songs were bad for the environment
Everything plagiarized — okay, guess it’s just me then
Hit a low spot, dark thoughts, alone time
Anxiety high like it’s trying to flatline
I just want this feeling gone…
Am I right?
I listened back to the old tracks
Could still feel every emotion in that
Somewhere after “Old Me” I lost myself
Started chasing everything but my health
[Pre-Chorus]
Put out some bangers with the StreetDolls
Couple good songs but the rest feel off
Maybe that’s true…
Or maybe it’s just me talking
[Chorus]
Give me one good reason… (reeeason)
Why I shouldn’t give this up
Every time I think I found myself
I feel like I’m not enough
I blame myself for everything
Every song, every wreck
Trying to turn pain into music…
But I’m running out of breath
[Verse 2]
Nobody cares about “Different Lane”
Nobody cared when I tried to change
Nobody cared about “Rethinking”…
Or maybe I didn’t either
I’m my own worst critic
Criticism shadows my brilliance
I say I’m positive and excellent…
Then call myself garbage the next minute
Fear’s been driving for a while now
All these fights feel fake somehow
Thought I was the champion…
Turns out I wasn’t in control
[Pre-Chorus]
And every time I try to disappear
Music’s the thing that pulls me back here
[Chorus]
Give me one good reason… (reeeason)
Why I shouldn’t give this up
Every time I think I found myself
I feel like I’m not enough
I blame myself for everything
Every song, every wreck
Trying to turn pain into music…
But I’m running out of breath
[Bridge (stripped, emotional)]
[(everything drops except the beat)]
Wanted a break…
But I took away my outlet too
Now I don’t know what to do
Without the thing that got me through
1 AM and sleepless
Mind running a four-second forty
Light can’t catch up to my thoughts…
And honestly that scares me
[Final Chorus (slight lift, fragile)]
Give me one good reason…
Maybe it’s hidden in these songs
Maybe the fact I’m still writing means…
I’m not fully gone
Maybe every scar I carry
Still has a purpose left
And maybe turning pain into music…
Is the reason I’m not done yet
[Outro (soft)]
[(ambient hiss, guitar fading)]
I don’t know where to go from here…
