[Intro — Whispered, FX Layered]
Just five more minutes —
to run it back
before the silence settled in
and the air between us
thickened like tar
burning beneath my ribs.
[Verse 1 — Spoken/Sung + Rap Flow]
You were the ghost
in my hallway of almosts.
Grinning like nothing had happened
while everything inside me spun.
If this was fate,
it wasn’t gentle.
It was a collision...
[Rap Switch — Low Voice, Tight Flow]
No soft goodbye, no warning, no grace
Just crash and breath and empty space
And still I’d ride that skyline red
Hold you once, let the silence spread.
[Pre-Chorus — Sung with Airy Pads]
I saw the past
on an empty ceiling,
played along
with the static of life,
while praying
you didn’t feel this ache,
this field rupture
in the chest
where you once belonged.
[Chorus — Melodic, Echoed]
In reverse...
you are all my symmetry.
A parallel I’d lay my life on —
if this map had bent
just slightly
differently.
But your wings
couldn’t find heaven...
So I tried to bring it down for you.
And it cost me my sky.
[Verse 2 — Whispered Rap Flow]
Do you remember me
when the rain gathers?
When the pulse quickens —
for no reason?
[Rap Flow Continues]
Was it me you felt in your chest?
That tremble when the heart protests?
I still believe it mattered once —
you were my ache, my air, my lungs.
I still feel
the ancient canopies
we once lay beneath
in a time
outside of time.
[Bridge — Sung / Minimal FX]
But now
the night belongs to you.
This branch…
has broken.
I must become
someone new.
[Final Chorus — Whisper-Sung, Soft Echo FX]
Still—
in quiet moments,
when the leaves
fall inward…
I whisper:
"If you cannot be mine…
then give me the night."
[soft echo]: the night… the night…
[Outro — Whispered Rap Over Fading Beat]
You took the light,
left me the dusk.
Now I wear the dark
like skin I trust.
If love was war —
then this was right.
If not your name —
then give me the night.
(…the night…)
