High I Can’t Forget

[Verse 1]
Used to laugh in the hallway
Now it’s your name on a screen
Scrolling through old photos
Like I’m picking at a wound I can’t clean
You left in the middle of the season
Didn’t even pack your things
Just a silence in my messages
And a room that still rings
[Chorus]
My heart is broken because of suicide
Every night I wonder why you had to hide
I remember getting high, trying to numb my head
But it’s hard, it’s hard
High I can’t forget
[Verse 2]
I wear your hoodie in summer
Sweat running down my neck
Friends say “it’ll get better”
I just nod, send another text I’ll never send
We were kids chasin’ shadows
You were always walking near the edge
Now I talk to the ceiling
Like you might answer from the vent
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I had called you back
Would you still be here?
These questions keep circling
Like smoke that never clears
I hate that you were hurting
While I was getting lit
Now every time I taste that high
It just tastes like this
[Chorus]

rap, Minimal sad rap beat, distant detuned keys and a low synth bass. Male vocals, close-mic and intimate, almost spoken on the verses, hook opens with layered, ghostly harmonies and a slightly wider stereo field. Sparse hats, heavy kick, and occasional reversed vocal chops. Keep everything dim and heavy, leaving long tails of reverb on key phrases., sad
