Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Parking lot seas of busted glass Big yellow lines All fading fast Mom drops me off like it’s daycare Says “text me if you need me” I never do I just drift through Dead fountain full of copper stains Fake trees Old gum And window frames I trace my name in the dust On a store that closed in June Everything gone But it feels like my room [Chorus] In the empty mall I feel normal for once Just a ghost in a food court chair All the gates pulled down But the lights still hum Like they know that I’m scared If the whole world falls I’ll be walking these halls ’Cause the silence Sounds like home [Verse 2] Used to circle that same three shops Shoe place Phones And a donut box Talk big dreams by the photo booth Then laugh when the strip came out wrong Everyone’s moved I just walk here alone Security guy nods Doesn’t ask my name He’s the closest thing I have to safe I count the tiles when my chest gets tight Breathe in the smell of stale popcorn If I stand real still I don’t feel as torn [Chorus] [Bridge] I’m so young But my heart feels tired Like a sale sign Sun-bleached Expired If this is all That I ever find These plastic plants Are still on my side [low vocal register] They never leave They never leave [Chorus]

Midwest emo band energy: twinkly clean guitars with open tunings, tight bass, and punchy but dry drums. Verses stay restrained and conversational; choruses erupt with gang vocals and crashing cymbals. Add a lightly overdriven lead hook, subtle feedback swells between sections, and an emotional shout-along outro that feels like a basement show confession. Male vocals, raw and a bit cracked on the high notes., emo
