[Intro: Ticking Clock & Atmospheric Keys]
(Clock ticking... 5:32 AM)
(Mmm, yeah, just let me breathe)
Let me settle down.
Let me settle down.
Why must my mind keep playing this game?
(Listen close...)
[Verse 1: Smooth, Anxious R&B Flow]
Why must I wake up feeling exactly this way?
Chasing a ghost at the break of the day
Staring at the ceiling, looking for a clue
Are you there? Don't you dare...
Keep ignoring me, leaving me out in the blue!
It's tearing me in two, the silence in this empty room
I guess I'm crazy, sweeping up the morning gloom
Yeah, I've been crazy, putting up with all the cold
And you don't even care about the fragile heart you hold.
[Pre-Chorus: Heavy Bass Tension Builds]
Let me sit on your lap, can I pull you close?
Why do you hold me, why do you caress me so slow?
You give me the physical touch, but you hide the soul...
You're keeping the power while I'm losing control! (Let's go!)
[Beat Drop: Massive 808 Sub-Bass & Crisp Snaps]
[Chorus: Explosive Soaring Vocal Belt]
'Cause you kiss my neck, but you won't kiss my lips!
Sensation shooting through me, but something is amiss!
You take the physical, but keep the emotional wall!
Making me weak in the knees, just waiting for the fall!
Why do I go back, when you just push me away?!
Over and over again, in the exact same play! (Same play!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Call-and-Response Rhythm]
(Let me settle down, yeah, I gotta settle down)
Catching my breath while you're nowhere to be found!
(Let me settle down, yeah, I gotta settle down)
Looking for a single spark in this lonely, quiet town!
[Verse 2: Gritty Half-Rapped Delivery]
It’s a toxic loop, it’s a dangerous midnight game
You want all the fire, but you run from the heavy flame
You pull me in tight just to tell me to stop
Leaving me hanging right before the emotional drop
I keep giving you the power to dictate how I feel
When you won't even give me something raw and real!
I'm reading the actions, the push and the pull
You're leaving me empty while your ego gets full!
[Bridge:][ Building to Climax]
[(Acapella and snaps)]
Kiss my neck... but you won't kiss my lips.
Sensation shooting through me... something is amiss.
[(Building Bass and Synth)]
I'm tired of the fractions, I'm tired of the halves!
I'm tired of the way that you run from the math!
[(Heavy Bass Drops Back In - Maximum Energy)]
I'm breaking the cycle! I'm breaking the chain!
I'm done waking up inside this 5 AM pain! (Yeah!)
[Chorus: Full Force]
'Cause you kiss my neck, but you won't kiss my lips!
Sensation shooting through me, but something is amiss!
You take the physical, but keep the emotional wall!
Making me weak in the knees, just waiting for the fall!
Why do I go back, when you just push me away?!
Over and over again, in the exact same play! (Same play!)
[Outro: Bass Fades to Moody Keys & Ticking Clock]
Let me settle down.
(Mmm... stop the chase.)
Let me settle down.
(5:32 AM. The clock keeps ticking.)
I'm leaving this space.
You didn't kiss my lips.
[Fade Out]
