[Intro – Hummed melody + layered vocals]
Mmm… yeah
Cap-alot
I been talkin’ to my pain like it’s all I got
⸻
[Verse 1]
I gave love I ain’t get back
Seen my homie fade to nothin’ — now his pic just where we sip at
Mama said “pray more,” I just grip straps
Scared to close my eyes, nightmares tryna spin back
I was up in storms with no umbrella
Had to fake peace, turn pain into pressure
Now I got ice but it never made me better
Still feel broke when I count all this cheddar
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Lately, I been numb in a crowd full of smiles
They all look alive, but I ain’t felt that in a while
⸻
[Chorus – Melodic, heartfelt flow]
‘Cause nothin’ ever felt real
Pain got a grip, I don’t know how to heal
Tryna stay solid with a heart I can’t feel
Voices in my head like, “Boy, you should chill”
But I’m still spinnin’ like wheels
Still tryna climb, stuck in the field
God, if you hear me, just show me what’s real
‘Cause nothin’ in my life ever really felt real
⸻
[Verse 2]
I been walkin’ on this wire
Fake friends burn bridges, I ain’t trippin’ — I light fires
Used to dream peace, now I dream tires
Runnin’ from my past like the ghost wore a wire
Now they say “Capálot you next”
But don’t know the nights I ain’t even wanna text
Wanted to vanish, heart on my chest
Like a target in a warzone, beggin’ for rest
⸻
[Bridge – Soft melody, minimal drums]
I can’t tell what’s fake no more
Even love come with a price at the door
I give and I give, but it never restore
Tell me what I’m even doin’ this for
⸻
[Final Chorus – Stronger drums, layered harmonies]
Nothin’ ever felt real
Pain in my chest, and I’m beggin’ to heal
Tryna stay strong, but I’m losing the will
Tell me if I fall, would you still be still?
I’m still runnin’ uphill
Still tryna climb out the guilt that I feel
God, if you listenin’, give me somethin’ to feel
‘Cause nothin’ in my life ever really felt real
⸻
[Outro – Fade with slow guitar or piano loop]
Yeah…
Cap-alot
If you ever felt numb, this one’s for you
