[Intro]
Red eyes
Screen glow, no sun
Clock cracked
Night just begun
[Verse 1]
Backlit, black coat, hood low
Heart got frost where blood should go
Teeth like codes when I talk in tongues
Every promise I made got bit and hung
Old scars mapped out like streets
Follow that line, you’ll find my grief
I don’t chase ghosts, they follow me home
Sit in my chair, try painting my tone (huh)
Shadows on the wall keep count
Every wrong move, every bank account
Every bad thought that I feed at dawn
Turn to small gods when the meds wear off
[Chorus]
I wear a midnight static crown
King of the glitch in a dead-ass town
I don’t feel safe when the sun comes out
Only in the dark do I calm my doubt
Midnight static crown on me (on me)
Buzz in my brain, let it drown me deep
If I lose my way, don’t pull me out
I belong to the dark, that’s what I’m about (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Cold grin, chrome in the backpack
Ink on my skin like a war map
Trust no smile, trust no handshake
Every warm word got a snakeshape
Friends turn quick when the fear hits
They don’t wanna stand where the spear sits
I been toe to toe with my own worst head
He speak in a voice like a judge on meds
Streetlights flicker when I pass through
I don’t need luck, that’s bad news
I just need sleep for a year straight
I just need proof that I ain’t too late (uh)
[Chorus]
I wear a midnight static crown
King of the glitch in a dead-ass town
I don’t feel safe when the sun comes out
Only in the dark do I calm my doubt
Midnight static crown on me (on me)
Buzz in my brain, let it drown me deep
If I lose my way, don’t pull me out
I belong to the dark, that’s what I’m about
[Bridge]
How many sins in a suitcase?
How many names in a blue flame?
How many times can a man break
’Fore he start calling the cracks fate?
I don’t wanna pray to a blank sky
Rather make peace with the black tide
If you see me there with my eyes wide
Just know I chose this, I ain’t shy (nah)
[Chorus]
I wear a midnight static crown
King of the glitch in a dead-ass town
I don’t feel safe when the sun comes out
Only in the dark do I calm my doubt
Midnight static crown on me (on me)
Buzz in my brain, let it drown me deep
If I lose my way, don’t pull me out
I belong to the dark, that’s what I’m about
[Outro]
Red eyes
Screen glow, no sun
If the night ask
Tell it I’m the one (yeah)
