Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee at midnight Same cup Same chipped side Scrolling through headlines Reading every single lie Cartoons on low Just to feel some voices Talking over All the quiet choices [Pre-Chorus] I count the days By dishes in the sink I keep my hands too busy So I don't have to think [Chorus] I keep the lights on Till the morning comes Turn up the background Drown the thoughts that run If I sit in silence They all come back strong So I keep the lights on I keep the lights on [Verse 2] Laundry on repeat Fold the same shirt twice Talking to no one Out loud just for spite Calendar crowded With things I never do Fill every minute So there’s no space for you [Pre-Chorus] I wear my headphones Like armor on my skin Anything Anything To drown the echo in [Chorus] I keep the lights on Till the morning comes Turn up the background Drown the thoughts that run If I sit in silence They all come back strong So I keep the lights on I keep the lights on [Bridge] Blue glow on my face (oh-oh) Shadows on the wall Feels safer in this halfway place Than letting silence fall If I close my eyes I see every goodbye So I stare at the ceiling Till the dark gets tired [Chorus] I keep the lights on Till the morning comes Turn up the background Drown the thoughts that run If I sit in silence They all come back strong So I keep the lights on I keep the lights on [Outro] Leave every switch flipped Leave every screen bright If lonely is waiting It can wait all night

rock, Mid-tempo pop-punk ballad that ramps from palm-muted clean guitars and soft mixed vocals into a full-band wall of sound; first verse hushed with roomy drums and simple bass, then pre-chorus adds octave guitars and tighter hi-hats, chorus hits with distorted power chords, gang-style backing vocals, and crashing cymbals; bridge breaks down to half-time toms and airy ambient pads before one last explosive hook, pop, noise, punk
