Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Ash on my tongue Eyes like a dimmed-down screen I chase the caffeine ghosts Just to feel anything Calendar bleeding red All of my nights on fire Every "I'm fine" I send Is just smoke, just wire [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it in my throat? Every word, a warning note Heart knocking like it wants out Like it wants out [Chorus] Burnout I'm a matchhead losing color Burnout Every breath tastes like rubber Talking to the ghost in the mirror (It’s just me now, just me now) Burnout I can feel the edges fraying Burnout But my body keeps obeying Running on the echo and the whisper Till I fade out [Verse 2] I rap to the bathroom tiles Spit truths that I choke in calls Shadows lip-sync back my lines Like they know how the curtain falls Friends say "you’re killing it" They don’t see the killing part Laugh tracks in my DMs Silence chewing on my heart [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear it in my laugh? Cracks cutting every half Heartbeat pacing like a crowd Screaming too loud [Chorus] Burnout I'm a matchhead losing color Burnout Every breath tastes like rubber Talking to the ghost in the mirror (It’s just me now, just me now) Burnout I can feel the edges fraying Burnout But my body keeps obeying Running on the echo and the whisper Till I fade out [Bridge] [Beat drops to sparse groove, whispered doubles under lead] Work harder, run faster They crown you, then they cast you I’m a halo made of high beams On an empty road If I slam on the brakes Will anyone know? (anyone know?) [Chorus] Burnout I'm a matchhead losing color Burnout Every breath tastes like rubber Talking to the ghost in the mirror (It’s just me now, just me now) Burnout I can feel the edges fraying Burnout But my body keeps obeying Running on the echo and the whisper Till I fade out Till I fade out (burnout)
