Kidnap Me From Myself

(Style: Hip hop with dark pop and art pop texture, hip-hop swing over brushed drums and deep bass; verse rides a lo-fi folk indie rock bed with fingerpicked guitar and sparse keys, pre-chorus tightens with stacked breaths and filtered handclaps, chorus opens with wide harmonies and a half-time lift. Breathy male vocals, intimate doubles in verses, pitched ad-libs and delay throws on the hook word, vinyl crackle into the first verse, reversed swell before the chorus, sub drops on the last word of each hook. Warm gritty uplift, close-mic and cinematic, indie rock, pop, lo-fi, hip hop, folk, swing, deep, breathy, art pop, warm, hip-hop, male vocals)

I know that face

In the bathroom glass

Same old stare

Won’t let me pass

Pocket full of keys

But I still feel locked

Same old house

Same old box

I keep my door wide

Still I don’t move

I wear my name

Like a bruise

If you see me falling

Don’t let me land

Pull me out

With your bare hands

Tie my doubts

To the chair

Take the weight

Out the air

If I run

Drag me back

If I fade

Bring me back

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

I need your hands

On the fire

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

Drag me out

Take me higher

(take me higher)

I’ve been living

In split-screen rooms

One half smoke

One half bloom

I keep saying

I’m almost fine

But the truth stays

Out of line

If I start to

Sink again

Say my name

Like a friend

Break my loop

Break my spell

Carry me

Past the shell

Tie my doubts

To the chair

Take the weight

Out the air

If I run

Drag me back

If I fade

Bring me back

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

I need your hands

On the fire

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

Drag me out

Take me higher

(take me higher)

I don’t want

Another clone

One more room

Where I’m alone

Cut the cords

Cut them clean

Show me what

I’ve never seen

One good pull

One hard truth

One more chance

To start new

If I shake

Don’t let go

Hold me like

You already know

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

I need your hands

On the fire

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

Drag me out

Take me higher

(take me higher)

Kidnap me from myself

Kidnap me from myself

I’m ready now

To come alive
