Dusty Brake Lights

[Verse 1]
You got a talent for drama
I got a talent for walking away
Used to fall for your tears on command
Now they just look in the way
Too many "sorry"s on read
Too many nights I forgave
You kept receipts of my kindness
I keep the proof that I changed
I used to spin in your orbit
Till I got sick of the spin
You only loved when you lost me
So I keep choosing to win (yeah)
[Chorus]
Dusty brake lights in my rearview
Can’t see your face, can’t hear you
Gave you chances, you just blew through
Now I’m ice cold, I don’t feel you
Head high when I leave that night
Heart clean, I don’t need your side
Hope I never see you clear again
Just a blur in the dust and the traffic, the end
[Verse 2]
You love a cycle, I’m tired
You love a fight, I’m bored
You slam the doors, I’m silent
I’m already out of that door
You used to call me your savior
I used to try to believe
Now I just cut off the signal
Block every way you can reach (yeah)
You’ll say I’m heartless and hollow
I’ll say I finally grew spine
You chase the past in your shadow
I chase a much better life (hey)
[Chorus]
Dusty brake lights in my rearview
Can’t see your face, can’t hear you
Gave you chances, you just blew through
Now I’m ice cold, I don’t feel you
Head high when I leave that night
Heart clean, I don’t need your side
Hope I never see you clear again
Just a blur in the dust and the traffic, the end
[Bridge]
I don’t hate you, that’d mean I care
You’re just someone that used to be there
Memories fade like smoke in the air
I walk off calm, you stay unprepared (yeah)
[Chorus]
Dusty brake lights in my rearview
Can’t see your face, can’t hear you
Gave you chances, you just blew through
Now I’m ice cold, I don’t feel you
Head high when I leave that night
Heart clean, I don’t need your side
Hope I never see you clear again
Just a blur in the dust and the traffic, the end

rap, Moody trap beat with sparse 808s and eerie bell plucks; male vocals half-rapped, half-snarled. Verses stay tight and low, riding behind the kick; hook widens with layered ad-libs and distant, reverbed hums. Cold, minimal textures that let the vocal sting, with occasional pitched-down doubles for emphasis.
