[INTRO]
[Just the rhythmic, metallic ticking of a cheap box fan on its highest setting. No music yet. Your vocals sound flat, tired, and close to the mic.]
[MVSSY_LVND]:
It’s like 2 AM.
The sheets are sticking to my legs and you’re all the way on the other side of the bed.
I can see the blue light from your phone reflecting on the wall.
You think I’m asleep.
[A heavy, dragging 808 kick drops in at 68 BPM—it feels lazy, like walking through deep water]
But I’m just watching you.
[CHORUS]
[MVSSY_LVND]:
The air in here is so heavy I can barely swallow.
We don’t even talk anymore, we just argue about who forgot to lock the door.
You reached over and touched my arm earlier,
but it didn't feel like you wanted to. It felt like an accident.
I’m just lying here with sweat on the back of my neck,
wishing a storm would roll in and just smash the windows out.
Anything to change the air.
[VERSE 1]
[The drums pull back to just a muffled, low-pass filtered snare. The rapper’s delivery is low, muttered, and completely conversational—like he’s talking under his breath so he doesn't wake anyone up.]
[MALE GUEST - Rap]:
Look, I saw you roll over. I know you’re awake.
I’m tired of the sighing, tired of the passive-aggressive breaks.
You ask who I’m texting like I gotta show you a receipt,
I’m literally just scrolling through my feed trying to sleep.
It’s too hot for this. It’s too hot to have the same fight.
You used to laugh when I messed up, now you stay mad all night.
I feel like I’m suffocating in this room, for real.
Every time I try to explain the way that I feel,
you turn it back on me, tell me I’m being cold.
But you’re the one acting like we’re ninety years old.
I want to fix it, I do. But I don’t even know where to start.
It’s like the humidity got inside your heart.
[PRE-CHORUS]
[A low synth swell starts to rise, building a slow, uncomfortable tension beneath the words.]
[MVSSY_LVND]:
You just locked your screen...
[MALE GUEST):
Because the brightness is high.
[MVSSY_LVND]:
I know exactly what that means.
[MALE GUEST]:
You don't know anything.
[MVSSY_LVND]: We’re just trapped in this apartment...
[MVSSY_LVND & MALE GUEST]:
Staring at the walls.
[CHORUS]
[MVSSY_LVND]:
The air in here is so heavy I can barely swallow.
We don’t even talk anymore, we just argue about who forgot to lock the door.
You reached over and touched my arm earlier,
but it didn't feel like you wanted to. It felt like an accident.
I’m just lying here with sweat on the back of my neck,
wishing a storm would roll in and just smash the windows out.
Anything to change the air.
[OUTRO]
[The music drops out completely. Only the box fan remains, but it sounds slower now, like it's losing power. Your voice is barely a whisper.]
[MVSSY_LVND]:
Just smash the windows out.
Seriously.
[A sharp, sudden click of a phone being plugged into a charger cuts the audio into dead silence]
