Broken Knuckles, Bloody Halo

[Verse 1]
I remember every word you said
Echo in my skull when I try to rest
You were asking for a lifeline, I was on my phone
Scrolling through the nothing while you sank alone
Ashtray full, but my head more crowded
You were trying to talk, I just talked around it
Said, "Call me if you need me," then I hit decline
Now your name is just a stone on a timeline
[Chorus]
Got these broken knuckles, bloody halo
Punching walls that never answer back
Every night I talk to shadows
Asking why you left me with the slack
If I could trade this guilt for your tomorrow
I would burn my past, never look back
Got these broken knuckles, bloody halo
Drowning in the weight of what I lack
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "You can't fix the grave"
But this blame in my chest keeps misbehaved
Friends say, "Time heals," but the clock stay stuck
On a message you sent that I never picked up
I wear your hoodie like a borrowed spine
Try to stand up straight but it bends with mine
I see your smile in the rearview shake
I hit the gas hard just to outrun the ache (yeah)
[Chorus]
Got these broken knuckles, bloody halo
Punching walls that never answer back
Every night I talk to shadows
Asking why you left me with the slack
If I could trade this guilt for your tomorrow
I would burn my past, never look back
Got these broken knuckles, bloody halo
Drowning in the weight of what I lack
[Bridge]
Did I fail you, or just fade?
Every choice I made feels staged
If I'd answered, if I'd stayed
Would you still be here today? (would you?)
[Chorus]
Got these broken knuckles, bloody halo
Punching walls that never answer back
Every night I talk to shadows
Asking why you left me with the slack
If I could trade this guilt for your tomorrow
I would burn my past, never look back
Got these broken knuckles, bloody halo
Till the guilt goes black, I carry that

Verses lean into urgent hip-hop cadences over chugging palm-muted riffs; chorus explodes with screamed male vocals and big gang shouts. Bridge strips to bass, filtered drums, and reverb-soaked guitar swells, then slams back with layered vocal doubles for a cathartic final hook., rock, hip hop
