[Intro Tag – bass hit, brief silence, deep raspy vocal, slight reverb]
Rooster Season…
[Intro – cinematic pads, distant acoustic guitar, wind ambience]
Yeah… just me and these roads again
Ain’t quiet out here… just feels heavy
[Verse 1 – acoustic guitar, slow drums, dark tone]
Rollin’ slow through a town that don’t know my name
Headlights cuttin’ through the edge of my pain
Thought I had it mapped, thought I knew the way
Now I’m just driftin’ through another long day
Windows down but it don’t feel free
Just me and my thoughts and what’s left of me
Every mile feel like somethin’ I lost
Every wrong turn addin’ up the cost
[Pre-Chorus – piano enters, tension building]
Thought I had it figured out, I was dead wrong
Mind runnin’ circles all night long
Talkin’ out loud but nobody hears
Just me and this weight and these quiet fears
[Chorus – full drums, piano + acoustic, deep 808 undercurrent]
Ain’t nobody hearin’, ain’t nobody listenin’
Just me and these thoughts I’m livin’ in
Weight on my chest but I’m still movin’ on
Backroad talkin’, tryna stay strong
I been lost but I still show up
Even when it feel like it’s too much
Yeah I been bent but I don’t break
Still ridin’ through whatever it take
[Verse 2 – stripped drums, acoustic focus, raw vocal]
Dashboard glow, half tank low
Same old ghosts that I already know
Every turn feel like I been here before
But I still keep drivin’ even when it tore
I ain’t where I thought I’d be by now
But I still got breath, I still got ground
Ain’t perfect, never claimed that role
Just tryna keep some grip on my soul
[Pre-Chorus – piano + subtle pads]
Yeah it gets heavy, yeah it gets real
Some nights I don’t like how I feel
But I keep pushin’ through the night
Even when nothin’ feel right
[Chorus – full cinematic build, acoustic + piano dominant]
Ain’t nobody hearin’, ain’t nobody listenin’
Just me and these thoughts I’m livin’ in
Weight on my chest but I’m still movin’ on
Backroad talkin’, tryna stay strong
I been lost but I still show up
Even when it feel like it’s too much
Yeah I been bent but I don’t break
Still ridin’ through whatever it take
[Bridge – minimal piano, reverb vocal, heavy space]
Maybe I’m closer than I think I am
Maybe this pain got a bigger plan
Every mile that I make it through
Still proves I ain’t done, still proves I do
[Final Chorus – full emotional lift, piano + acoustic + deep drums]
Ain’t nobody hearin’, ain’t nobody listenin’
Still I keep goin’, still I’m livin’ in
Weight on my chest but I’m still movin’ on
Backroad talkin’, tryna stay strong
I been lost but I still show up
Even when it feel like it’s too much
Yeah I been bent but I don’t break
Still ridin’ through whatever it take
[Outro – piano fade, wind, distant acoustic guitar]
Yeah… still ridin’
