[Intro]
Shadows in the room
Blue glare on my face
Breath slow, mind loud
Heart moves like bass
[Verse 1]
Scrollin’ through the silence
Timeline full of ghosts
Same names, same drama
Same tired posts
I’ve been
Trapped in this glass-lit cave
Four walls hum, but they never say
Much back
Just me and the glow and the playback
Old clips on loop, I fade black
Eyes red from the thoughts I dodge
Sip cheap hope from a paper cup, nod
Clock on the wall says stay
But my pulse in my neck says change
[Chorus]
I’m floatin’ in the afterhours
Too wired just to let it go
My doubts crawl up like towers
But I ride this midnight static glow
Deep down where the dark thoughts gather
I breathe in slow, then I let ‘em roll
Can’t drown, I just move through the pattern
On this midnight, midnight static glow (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Rent due, dreams on layaway
Boss talk big, but the pay stay gray
Mama hit my phone, say “pray”
I just stare at the ceiling, delay
My faith
I’ve been fakin’ it, chasin’ it
Whole life feel like a waiting list
Friends all flex with the latest drip
Still feel broke when the camera clicks
I want
More than a like and a mention
More than the flash and attention
Need peace I can’t screenshot
Need truth that the feed don’t mention (uh)
So I
Let the dark air fill my lungs
Name each fear like beads on a chain
Then drop that weight with my tongue
Whisper: “Tomorrow, we ain’t the same”
[Chorus]
I’m floatin’ in the afterhours
Too wired just to let it go
My doubts crawl up like towers
But I ride this midnight static glow
Deep down where the dark thoughts gather
I breathe in slow, then I let ‘em roll
Can’t drown, I just move through the pattern
On this midnight, midnight static glow (woah)
[Bridge]
Close my eyes, city fades
Just a low shake under my ribs
All my worst days in a wave
Crash, then they break, then they give
If I’m lost here, I’m lost on purpose
If I’m hurt, then the hurt got a service
Turn my scars to a quiet church
Where the pain sing low, then it learns
[Chorus]
I’m floatin’ in the afterhours
Too wired just to let it go
My doubts crawl up like towers
But I ride this midnight static glow
Deep down where the dark thoughts gather
I breathe in slow, then I let ‘em roll
Can’t drown, I just move through the pattern
On this midnight, midnight static glow
