Ashes in the Rearview

[Verse 1]
Empty can on the floor
Fast food bag on the dash, that’s dinner
Rearview full of old mistakes
Your name in every one of them
Told you I was fine
Lied through my grin till it rotted out
You said I was your favorite storm
Then left when the thunder got loud
[Chorus]
Now I’m broke in this parking lot
Skin all scarred where I claw my thoughts
Sleeping in the backseat, chasing ghosts of you
I throw my whole life in a pipe and I like it
Lonely in the dark with my own hands, I like it
Mouth full of shame where my teeth used to be
Face all torn where I scratch what you did to me
Living in my car like a cage that you built for me
All this wreckage in my veins and I love it
All this wreckage in my veins and I hate it, ’cause of you
[Verse 2]
Cold sweat on a Tuesday
Sun coming up like an accusation
Phone full of unread love
From people I keep pushing away
You taught me how to disappear
One secret at a time
Now every hit’s a photograph
Of when I swore that you were mine
[Chorus]

Intimate, confessional verses delivered in a low, close-mic rap; hook shifts into a half-sung, melancholic chant with layered doubles and distant ad-libs. Drums stay slow and heavy, occasional vinyl crackle and muted guitar swells to deepen the regretful, late-night atmosphere., hip hop, slow
