“No Alibi”

(Low sub-bass hum… heartbeat tempo. Vinyl crackle. Then a deep bass drop.)

Don’t pray for me

I already know what I did

(Bass drop)

I been livin’ with ghosts I created myself

Every lie I told sittin’ heavy on my chest

I said I was lost, but I knew where I went

Chose my pride over love, now I’m payin’ the debt

I looked her dead in the eyes, said “I’m tryin’ my best”

Whole time I was runnin’ from the man in the mirror

I blamed the pain, I blamed the stress

But truth is—I made the mess, yeah

I swear I tried to be good

But I wanted it all, didn’t know how to choose

Every promise I broke still echoes in rooms

Where the silence screams louder than truth

(Bass rises, distortion creeping in)

This my sin, this my cross

I don’t blame nobody, this all my fault

I loved too reckless, I lied too much

Now I’m drownin’ in the blood of my own trust

Let the bass hit hard, let it fall like rain

Every drop remind me of the pain I caused

I don’t need mercy, I don’t need God

I just need to face every wrong I was

(Massive bass drop)

I played the victim real convincing

Made it seem like the world was against me

But I was selfish, I was distant

Loved the attention more than the healing

I broke hearts tryin’ to feel whole

Left scars where love should grow

I said “I’ll change” like a joke

Then turned around, did it again, I know

I hurt the ones who prayed for me

Still ask why they walked away from me

I carry guilt like chains on me

Every night it weighs on me

(Bass strips out—just vocals, then BOOM)

This my sin, this my cross

I don’t blame nobody, this all my fault

I loved too reckless, I lied too much

Now I’m drownin’ in the blood of my own trust

Let the bass hit hard, let it shake my soul

If I gotta feel it all, then let it crush

I don’t want forgiveness if it’s false

I just want the truth of what I was

(808s sliding, bass wobble)

I wasn’t evil…

I was weak

And weakness still destroys everything it touches

(Beat drops back in darker, heavier)

No halo, no crown

Just a man when the lights go down

No excuse, no way out

Every tear I caused, hear it now

(Repeated bass drops, distorted choir hums)

This my sin, this my scar

Every wrong I did made me who you are

If I never get redemption at all

Let this song be my confession to God

(Final earth-shaking bass drop, then silence)

I’m not askin’ to be saved…

I’m just done runnin’.
