Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Plastic cup Midnight kitchen Countdown buzzing through my phone Someone yells "to new beginnings" Same old dishes Overflow Resolution on a napkin Coffee ring around the goal Say I'll finally break the pattern Smile like I don't already know [Chorus] New year Same ghost Wearing different clothes Every calendar page Just a circle in the smoke New year Same ghost I keep making these toasts But the mirror in the morning Never learned how to let go [Verse 2] Gym shoes waiting by the doorway Still got tags from years ago Vision board up with the sunrays Fading edges Curling slow Text you "this time it'll be different" You just send a laughing face 'Cause we've danced around this distance Every January tastes the same [Chorus] [Bridge] Maybe change is quiet Shows up when I don't look In the way I wash the dishes How I finally call you back If I keep on waking up To the same old ceiling cracks Maybe I'm the one that stays While the years just overlap [Chorus]

rock, Crunchy 2000s alt-rock with overdriven guitars, bright hi-hats, and a driving bass line. Verses sit in a mid-tempo groove, low male vocals half-speaking the cynicism; choruses explode with open chords, stacked gang vocals on the hook, and a soaring counter-melody. Short bridge strips to bass, toms, and a single guitar line before a final, shout-along chorus.
