(Intro – soft guitar, room echo)
It’s past midnight…
Fan hum in the dark…
Strings crying low…
(Verse 1)
It’s past midnight and I still try to find the words,
Layin’ in bed after work, feel the tension in my nerves.
Neon from the street cut a blade through the room,
Dirty guitar whisper slow like a tired monsoon.
Sometimes life feel heavy like a rusted old truck,
Dragging my soul through the gravel and the muck.
Mind running circles till the thoughts get blurred,
So I drown that noise with a bottle and the herb.
(glitch echo)
Herb… herb… herb…
(Pre-Chorus)
Long day grind got my back feeling broke,
Heart still beating through the midnight smoke.
Every little worry like a weight on my chest,
Trying to breathe but the world don’t rest.
(Chorus – raw vocal, echo)
Past midnight… I’m alone with the sound,
Broken guitar keep dragging me down.
Liquor in the glass make the room spin slow,
Kush in the air let the heavy shit go.
Past midnight… yeah my mind run wild,
Static in my head like a lost radio dial.
If the world too loud and the pressure too much,
I just close my eyes and drift in the hush.
(Verse 2)
Ceiling fan spinning like a tired old wheel,
Every damn thought trying to tell me what’s real.
Ash in the tray and the window cracked wide,
Cold night breeze like a ghost at my side.
Calloused fingers pick a worn-out chord,
Let it cry out raw like a truth ignored.
Solo scream through the hollowed-out air,
Like the pain in my chest finally breathing somewhere.
(Guitar Solo Section – gritty, emotional)
String bend slow…
Feedback moan…
Notes bleed out like a cracked-up tone…
(vocal ad-libs)
Yeah…
Let it cry…
Let it cry tonight…
(Final Chorus – bigger echo)
Past midnight… I’m alone with the sound,
Broken guitar keep dragging me down.
Liquor in the glass make the room spin slow,
Kush in the air let the heavy shit go.
Past midnight… when the city asleep,
All my secrets start talking to me.
If the weight too much and the silence too rough,
I just fade in smoke till the night’s enough.
(Outro – whisper, fading guitar)
Past midnight…
Strings still humming…
Mind finally quiet…
Just for a moment…
