[Intro- vinyl hiss, lo-fi piano, distant organ swells, (half-spoken, close mic)]
Roxy…
Yeah…
[Verse 1]
Streetlight halos, you’re standing still
Shadow and glow, bending my will
I been carrying weight I don’t show
Scars I don’t name, ghosts I don’t know
Then you look at me like I’m already whole
[beat settles, bass pulse deep and warm]
[Pre-Chorus]
Your laugh cuts through my doubt
Your voice pulls me back out
[Chorus]
Roxy, my riot, my reason, my fight
Roxy, you hold me together at night
Every crack, every sigh, every truth I hide
Roxy, my riot, my reason, my fight
[organ rises softly like breath, not choir]
[Verse 2]
I was gasoline waiting on flame
Running from love, running from shame
You don’t flinch when I fall apart
You trace the breaks like sacred art
Say my scars don’t disqualify my heart
[palm-muted guitar, dusty drums dragging slightly]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You don’t ask me to be clean
Just stay right here and believe
[Chorus]
Roxy, my riot, my reason, my fight
Roxy, my mercy in broken light
Every tear, every try, every sleepless night
Roxy, my riot, my reason, my fight
[Instrumental Break]
[Dusty trip-hop breakbeat, swung]
[Deep warm bass pulse]
[Lo-fi piano, gospel sus/maj7]
[Worn organ swells]
[Clean palm-muted guitar]
[Restrained fuzz swell]
[Atmospheric pad, distant choir air]
[Vinyl hiss]
[Bridge]
[beat drops — piano + organ only, voice cracks allowed]
I don’t need heaven calling my name
I found my grace in the sound of your name
You don’t preach, you don’t pretend
You just love me where I end
[restrained fuzz guitar swells in]
You break me open, pull me in whole
You’re the wound and the cure in my soul
[Final Chorus / Outro- full groove returns, but still restrained]
Roxy, my riot, my reason, my fight
If I’m saved, it’s here tonight
Every scar, every side of me I tried to hide
Roxy… my riot…
My reason…
My fight
[vinyl hiss, organ fades, bass heartbeat lingers]
