Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bare feet on the motel tile Ceiling stain looks just like me Ashtray full of almost-quit Static in the cracked TV I scroll through my own mistakes Like they’re someone else’s feed Every promise that I broke Is the only thing I read [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been chasing every exit sign Burning out the back of my eyes If I disappear in plain sight Would anybody realize [Chorus] These deadlights Stare me down in the dark They don’t blink They don’t care who you are I’ve been driving through the glow Till I can’t tell right from wrong Deadlights Dragging me along (yeah, dragging me along) [Verse 2] ID on the bathroom sink Old name I don’t claim now Heartbeat in a paper cup Shakes when I break down Friends say I should “open up” They don’t see the rusted lock Every time I spill a truth It just stains another sock [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been dreaming with the screen on Numb thumbs, bloodshot dawn If I vanish in the blue light Would anybody notice I’m gone [Chorus] These deadlights Stare me down in the dark They don’t blink They don’t care who you are I’ve been driving through the glow Till I can’t tell right from wrong Deadlights Dragging me along (oh, dragging me along) [Bridge] Yeah, I talk tough, act fine Laugh hard, flatline Wear a mask so long It rewrote my face Every “I’m good” text Is a white-knuckled flex I’m a car crash prayer In the slow lane [Chorus] These deadlights Stare me down in the dark They don’t blink They don’t care who you are I’ve been driving through the glow Till I can’t tell right from wrong Deadlights If I cut the power, am I gone? Deadlights Will you miss me when I’m gone?
