[Intro]
Got a demon in the download
Teeth in the tempo
Crawlin’ through my airflow
Feedin’ on the echo
[Verse 1]
Woke up with a warning on my phone screen
“All your little vices got a home team”
Every bad habit in the code, they collab
Made a little dungeon in my notepad app
Click-clack, keys turn to chains on my wrists
Dark thoughts do a drive-by, never miss
Pray slow, but the pace stay wicked
Halo in the cart but the horns still ticket
[Chorus]
Ominous, the monster in my headphones
Growlin’ every time that the bass rolls
Talkin’ in a tongue that my pain knows
Says “come, come, come where the hate grows”
I keep dancin’ with the shadow in my rib cage
Every step turn the thunder into sick rage
Ominous, the monster in my headphones
And it only gets loud when I’m dead broke, dead broke (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Late night, chips on my chest, show runnin’
Friends blowin’ up my line, I ain’t comin’
Too busy playin’ therapist to my doubt
Shotgun in the backseat, drivin’ through my mouth
Sip slow, that’s a promise I break quick
Say I’ll quit, then I turn to the same trick
Smile like I’m fine for the main feed
Bleed in the notes where they can’t read
[Chorus]
Ominous, the monster in my headphones
Growlin’ every time that the bass rolls
Talkin’ in a tongue that my pain knows
Says “come, come, come where the hate grows”
I keep dancin’ with the shadow in my rib cage
Every step turn the thunder into sick rage
Ominous, the monster in my headphones
And it only gets loud when I’m dead broke, dead broke (hey)
[Bridge]
[Beat stutters, vocal chopped, half-time drop]
Glitch in my grin, see it twitch, that’s the tell (that’s the tell)
Heaven on read, left my angels in the mail
If I mute that voice, do I lose my sound?
If I cut that cord, will the room fall down?
(yeah, yeah)
Talk back to the beast in the backlight
“Get out my chest, you ain’t act right”
But he love when I snap, when I backslide
So I slam one door, leave a crack wide (woah)
[Chorus]
Ominous, the monster in my headphones
Growlin’ every time that the bass rolls
Talkin’ in a tongue that my pain knows
Says “come, come, come where the hate grows”
I keep dancin’ with the shadow in my rib cage
Every step turn the thunder into sick rage
Ominous, the monster in my headphones
But I’m turnin’ that down till it let go, let go (yeah)
