Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cold air on the porch Jack-o’-lantern grin Half scorched Zipper stuck on my plastic cape Mom’s old flannel as a makeshift cape Rubber mask smelling like a tire Eye holes wrong But I feel higher Breathing sweat Can barely see Still convinced I'm anything I wanna be [Chorus] Take me back to the plastic masks and pillowcases Ashy streetlights Sugar racing through our faces Cartoon capes Dollar-store tape Running wild on the block like it was outer space Yeah It never felt fake Cheap costumes Real magic anyway [Verse 2] Neighbor’s bowl with the taped-on note "Just take one" as the lies caught in my throat Knees all bruised on the dead leaf ground Sneaker laces dragging Kicking wrappers around Store-bought fangs that would never stay in Cardboard sword that could barely swing But the night hit different when the screen door slammed Every creak on the sidewalk felt like a marching band [Chorus] [Bridge] Now it’s armor sets and perfect seams LED masks Choreographed screams Scrollin’ through it all like it’s just routine But I miss that crooked house on Maple Street That chill in my lungs Paper bags splitting Me and my friends All lopsided villains [Chorus]

rock, Crunchy 2000s alt-rock guitars with a touch of punk edge, mid-tempo groove. Verses stay tight and nostalgic with palm-muted power chords and dry male vocals up front; chorus kicks wider with doubled guitars, gang shouts, and open hats. Bridge pulls back to bass and toms, then slams into a final, shout-along hook with layered harmonies and a ringing outro chord., halloween
