Prompt / Lyrics
***[faint CB radio static crackles, then a lone, warbling synth fades in like headlights cutting fog at dawn]*** [Intro] *[low, gravel voice, almost whispered over the hum]* This one’s for the rearview mirror… where the people we loved turned into strangers before the engine even cooled. [Verse] Pink light on cracked vinyl seats, your laugh still echoes in the tape hiss. Used to taste like cherry smoke and forever— now just ghosts riding shotgun. [Chorus] Goddamn it hurts when someone you know turns into someone you *knew*. Like chrome rusting under sodium glow, like love left melting on the dash. You’re gone but the ache still rides shotgun. [Verse] I keep your number lit up at 3 a.m., thumb shaking over “Don’t.” One ring and I’d hear Shalimar and lies— or worse, nothing at all. [Final Chorus- voice cracking, reverb swallowing the room] It’s murder, baby— quiet, slow murder— watching “us” fade to static, watching you become a stranger I still bleed for. [Outro] *[synth and steel guitar drift apart, slowing, fading]* *[soft, broken murmur over dying 808 pulse]* Keep drivin’, cowboy… even when the only passenger left is the hole you carved out. *[final slide into black… neon buzz lingers one last second… then gone]*
