[Verse]
Clock tickin’, thoughts driftin’, pen on the page
Nightlight hummin’, tryna outrun the cage
Eyes heavy, but the grind don’t pause
World full of static, I’m connectin’ the dots
Ink bleeds like veins, words flow like streams
Lost in the cracks between the noise and dreams
Flicker in the bulb, shadows play the wall
Chasin’ meaning in the silence, that’s the call
[Chorus]
Under the nightlight, shadows fight
Mind in the mist, stars ignite
Pen in my hand, world in my sight
Lost in the dark, but I’m feelin’ alright
[Verse 2]
Pages curl like smoke from the fire
Each line a rope, pullin’ me higher
Old vinyl crackle, sound of my youth
Beat loops steady, rhythm of truth
Headphones on, drownin’ out the fuss
Streetlight glow, neon dust
Books stack tall, but my mind dig deep
Dreams wide awake while the city’s asleep
[Bridge]
Hiss of the tape, rewind the grind
Time don’t wait, but I’m steady in mind
Fingers trace paths on the map I drew
In this lo-fi haze, findin’ something new
