[Intro: Melancholy Acoustic Guitar & Vinyl Crackle]
(Yeah. Look.)
We cut it off cold turkey.
(Mmm, we had to.)
Listen close now.
[Verse 1: Gritty Country-Rap Flow]
We cut it off cold turkey, yeah, I had to break it clean
You told me from the jump we wouldn't work behind the screen
I don't know why I pushed it, why I kept up with the fight
I guess I thought the magic would survive into the night (Survive the night)
Are you even missin' any pieces of the cost?
Traded our connection for a paradise we lost
Now I'm cruisin' down the highway, ridin' slow around your place
Lookin' in the rearview for a shadow of your face (Where you at?)
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Bass Tension Builds]
Wonderin' if you'd shoot me down with a cold and bitter glare
Are you holdin' on to anger in the silence over there?
My sleep's been interrupted, tossin' turnin' in the sheets
I'm consumed inside the darkness while my heavy heart beats! (Let's go!)
[Beat Drop: Massive 808 Sub-Bass & Crisp Snaps]
[Chorus: Soaring Soulful Belt with Stutter Hook]
(C-C-Cold turkey, cold turkey, breakin' the chain!)
(My-M-M-O, yeah, we're losin' the game!)
But these withdrawal symptoms got a heavy hold on me!
Ten days later, baby, I'm just beggin' to be free! (Set me free!)
I'm screamin' in my head for you to break the silence sign
But I can't will a ghost into existence on the line! (No, I can't!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Rhythmic Bounce]
(Cold turkey, cold turkey, breakin' the chain)
My head is speakin' logic but my heart is in the rain!
(Cold turkey, cold turkey, losin' the game)
And it’s you... yeah, you're takin' my breath away! (Breath away!)
[Verse 2: Snappy, Emotional Half-Rapped Delivery]
Consumed at midnight with these heavy images of you
Deep down I know the truth, we bit off more than we could chew (Yeah we did)
Wasted all my prayers on you, poured 'em out into the dark
Realized after months you were just shieldin' every spark
All I ever wanted was a steady kind of grace
But you never even looked at me inside this empty space
I don't think you ever matched the energy I threw
I'm a Sagittarius sun, I know when we are through! (I know it!)
[Bridge: Stripped Back Guitar, Building Layered Vocals]
Wasted all my prayers, replayin' cycles in my head
Tryna quiet down the static in an empty, lonely bed
You never threw the anchor, never pulled me to the shore
So here I am standin', and I'm lockin' up the door! (Lock it up!)
[Chorus: Dramatic Acapella Breakdown]
[Acapella - Raw Vocals & Snaps Only]
C-C-Cold turkey, cold turkey, breakin' the chain...
My-M-M-O, yeah, we're losin' the game...
[Full Force Heavy Drop - Maximum Energy]
But these withdrawal symptoms got a heavy hold on me!
Ten days later, baby, I'm just beggin' to be free! (Set me free!)
[Outro: Bass Fades out to Melancholy Guitar]
My words tell me what my heart still wants.
Which is you.
(Cold turkey.)
Stop the chase.
Ten days later.
I'm out of this space.
(Yeah, let it fade. Erase the promise. I'm gone.)
[Fade Out]
