Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Black boots Chipped nail paint Door chime screams my name Flash art on a cracked brick wall Rain on my leather Fog on the glass I came for a comic Some hero to follow Pages to hide in A borrowed tomorrow [Pre-Chorus] Buzz of the needle Metal and ink Old punk humming on a dusty speaker Price tags hanging off plastic sleeves I almost forget why I’m here [Chorus] I walked in for ink and a paperback world Walked out with a number from a monster girl White hair Wolf eyes Crooked halo horns And a smile like “you won’t be lonely anymore” Didn’t get the comic I wanted Got a phone full of flames instead Guess the plot twist found me first Ink and paper hearts in my head [Verse 2] She says “Sit What’s your story?” Gloves snap Laugh like gasoline Sketching on my wrist so softly “Tiny ghost Holding a TV” She leans close Breath like sugar Coffee Clove Late-night movies I try not to stare at her horns when she grins Like she already read all my sequels and sins [Pre-Chorus] Buzz of the needle Skin starts to burn Her shoulder brushes mine I forget words She writes her name on the consent form line Then drifts it down into the margins [Chorus] I walked in for ink and a paperback world Walked out with a number from a monster girl White hair Wolf eyes Crooked halo horns And a smile like “you won’t be lonely anymore” Didn’t get the comic I wanted Got a phone full of flames instead Guess the plot twist found me first Ink and paper hearts in my head [Bridge] “Come back when it heals ” she whispers “Maybe then I’ll show you part two” Is this a date or a cliffhanger? Says “Bring snacks I’ll bring the tattoos” My wrist still stings on the bus ride home Little ghost glowing under my sleeve I flip through nothing on my lap But her number keeps reading me [Chorus] I walked in for ink and a paperback world Walked out with a number from a monster girl White hair Wolf eyes Crooked halo horns And a smile like “you won’t be lonely anymore” Didn’t get the comic I wanted Got a phone full of flames instead Guess the plot twist found me first Ink and paper hearts in my head [Outro] Came in alone Ink on my skin Left with a story I can’t wait to begin Little ghost flickers where she touched my wrist Next issue starts with our first kiss (hey)

Midtempo alt-pop rock with emo edges; clean electric guitars with light chorus shimmer in the verses, distorted crunch opening up the choruses. Tight live drums, warm bass sitting center. Female vocals, intimate and confessional on the verses, then raspy and soaring on the hook. Subtle synth pads under the bridge, stacked harmonies on the last chorus for a cathartic, grinning release., comic, emo
