Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Same four streets Same three bars Same old parking lot Counting scars in the back of my car Gas station coffee Holding my breath Walking past the neon doors Like they’re an ex I never met [Pre-Chorus] Friends still drowning Friday nights I’m stuck sipping melted ice Talking big about a better life But I’m scared to even try [Chorus] I’m making memories out of nothing Polaroids of empty air Sober in this nowhere town Trying hard to still be here If I can stand inside the silence Let it hurt and let it sound Maybe I can learn to love This grain of a town [Verse 2] Woke up shaking Heart on fast Sink full of dishes From a future that never passed Scrolling through the highlight reels Of people I don’t really know While my laundry hangs like white flags Across my bedroom window [Pre-Chorus] There’s a party three doors down Laughter bleeding through the walls I pretend I never hear it Turn the volume up on my thoughts [Chorus] [Bridge] I walk the long way ‘round the liquor store Counting cracks in the sidewalk One Two Four Breathing in Breathing out on the corner Like maybe this time I’m getting warmer I tell my fear “just ride in the back” You can talk but I won’t look back If all I have is this cheap sky This cracked ground I’ll still spin my little life around [Chorus]

Raw emo-rock band feel; close-mic’d male vocals over clean, slightly chorus-touched guitars that crack into overdrive on the hook. Tight, punchy drums and warm bass keep it driving. Verses stay restrained with palm-muted patterns; chorus explodes with open chords, gang vocals on the title line, and a brief, melodic lead line weaving around the vocal. Final chorus pulls instruments back for the first half, then full-band surge with cymbal wash., emo
