Lost

(rap, Hybrid dark-pop / indie-rap banger: moody piano and distant pads in the intro, then a huge distorted bass drop under punchy drums. Verses are tight, mad, and confessional with male vocals half-rapped, half-muttered; chorus lifts into autotuned melodic lines and stacked harmonies. Sparse guitar textures in the bridge, then final hook back with an even harder drop and ad-libs tucked around the lead., alternative pop, raw, male vocals, soul, pop, hip hop)

Verse 1 (Rap)

I been pacing in my head like it’s rented space

Every mirror got a face I don’t recognize

Clock keeps talking but it never says my name

Just counting all the minutes that I let go by

I move quiet, I don’t make a scene

Heavy thoughts but a poker face

Everybody got a plan, got a prophecy

I just got days that blur into weeks

I tried faith, I tried running fast

Tried numbing out what I couldn’t ask

If I’m honest, I don’t know what’s next

Just a weight on my chest and a past that drags

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know where I’m headed now

But I feel my pulse, I hear the sound

If this is drifting, let me drift

I’m still alive, so I exist

Chorus (Dark Pop)

I’m lost, yeah

Walking circles in my own skin

No signposts, no chosen ends

Just shadows teaching me who I am

I’m lost, yeah

But I’m still standing upright

If the dark feels endless tonight

I’ll learn to breathe inside it

Verse 2 (Rap)

Everybody says “trust the time”

But time never waited for me

I’ve been late to my own life

Trying to be what I’m supposed to be

I keep my head low, eyes tired

Dreams talk less when you don’t reply

I don’t chase highs, I don’t beg for lows

Just looking for a reason to stay inside

I been praying without the words

Just silence and a clenched jaw

If there’s a map, it skipped my street

Or maybe I burned it before I got lost

Pre-Chorus

I feel the ground when I slow it down

Even doubt don’t let me drown

If I don’t know who I’m meant to be

I’ll be who I am tonight, at least

Chorus

I’m lost, yeah

Walking circles in my own skin

No signposts, no chosen ends

Just shadows teaching me who I am

I’m lost, yeah

But I’m still standing upright

If the dark feels endless tonight

I’ll learn to breathe inside it

Bridge (Half-Sung / Half-Rap)

Maybe lost ain’t failure

Maybe it’s the space between

Who I was when I was younger

And the man I’m scared to be

I don’t need saving

I don’t need the truth right now

Just a moment where the noise dies

And I don’t feel hunted by doubt

Final Chorus

I’m lost, yeah

But I’m still here, still whole

Still got blood in my veins, still control

Even broken paths lead somewhere

I’m lost, yeah

And I’m done running blind

If this road takes all my time

I’ll walk it slow—

Yeah, I’m lost, but I’m mine
