"Dead End Soliloquy"

(Sound of heavy rain hitting concrete)
(A lighter flicks... inhale... exhale)
(Muffled city sirens in the distance)
Ninety-nine nightmares...
And I’m the only one awake.
Yeah.
[Verse 1]
Standing on the edge of the Dead End roof
Looking for a sign, looking for the proof.
Rain washing over the band-aid on my nose
Washing out the color from the concrete rose.
Got "Hello Kitty" on the cheek, "Dead End" on the soul
Paying the price, yeah I’m paying the toll.
The city lights are blurry, neon turning gray
I’m just a ghost trying to find a solid way.
[Chorus]
I got ninety-nine nightmares living in my head
Screaming that I’m lonely, screaming that I’m dead.
But I’m still standing tall in the pouring rain
Turning every drop into a little bit of gain.
Ninety-nine nightmares, one hundred dreams
Nothing in this city is ever what it seems.
(Is ever what it seems...)
[Verse 2]
Dreads heavy with the water, hoodie soaking through
Thinking 'bout the old life, thinking 'bout the new.
No band tonight, just the silence and the sound
Of the rain hitting hard on the battleground.
They see the tattoos, they don't see the scars
They see the gutter, I’m looking at the stars.
If I jump, I fly. If I fall, I break.
How much more of this pressure can a spirit take?
[Bridge]
(Beat cuts out - just the guitar loop and rain)
It’s cold up here.
But the view is clear.
I’m not coming down until the morning comes.
I’m marching to the beat of my own drums.
[Outro]
Ninety-nine...
Just me and the rain.
Just me and the pain.
Friedghostly.
(Thunder rumble fades out)
