Midnight Thoughts

2 days agoAria v1
[Intro] (B**t drops with a melancholic piano melody and subtle trap hi-hats) [Verse 1] Sunrise bleedin' through the blinds again, another sleepless night Got these demons on my shoulders, tryna win the f***t, but it's tight Sippin' on the purple, tryna blur the edges of the pain Memories like movies playin' in my brain, on replay, insane Told her I was different, swore I'd never be the one to leave Now the silence in this empty room is all that I believe Got these prescriptions in my pocket, got the words inside my chest Tryna find some kind of meaning, put my broken soul to test They see the fame, the flashing lights, they think I made it to the peak But the real w*r's in the mirror, every single damn week Heart on fire, mind on ice, yeah, that's the lethal mix I sip Pour another cup of numbness, let it burn upon my lips [Chorus] Yeah, it's always midnight thoughts when the world gets quiet Chasin' highs just to escape it, but I can't deny it This pain inside my chest, yeah, it's a constant battle cry Just wanna feel alive again, before I say goodbye (Goodbye, goodbye) These feelings overflowin', yeah, they d***n me in the deep Promises I couldn't keep playin' on repeat, on repeat... [Verse 2] Remember holdin' hands tight, thought that nothin' could go wrong But the pressures kept on buildin', where the hell did we belong? Now the texts are read but faded, conversations turned to dust Buildin' trust just to break it, yeah, self-destruction is a must? I paint the picture with the verses, bleed the ink out on the page Tryna cage the rage and sorrow, turnin' to a different stage But the baggage, yeah, it's heavy, draggin' footsteps slow and low Another show, another city, where the real me? I don't know They want the hits, the catchy phrases, want the energy, the flex But all I got is these confessions, and the lies that come up next Tryna medicate the hollow, fill the void with smoke and sound Know I'm runnin' out of time now, feel my feet leave solid ground [Chorus] Yeah, it's always midnight thoughts when the world gets quiet Chasin' highs just to escape it, but I can't deny it This pain inside my chest, yeah, it's a constant battle cry Just wanna feel alive again, before I say goodbye (Goodbye, goodbye) These feelings overflowin', yeah, they d***n me in the deep Promises I couldn't keep playin' on repeat, on repeat... [Bridge] Is this livin'? Or just existin'? Feelin' trapped inside the fame Every victory feels hollow, whisperin' my real name The real me's lost and lonely, hidin' underneath the glare Is there anybody out there? Does anybody even care? Beyond the streams, beyond the views, beyond the hype and noise Just a broken-hearted boy, searchin' for some inner poise... [Chorus] Yeah, it's always midnight thoughts when the world gets quiet Chasin' highs just to escape it, but I can't deny it This pain inside my chest, yeah, it's a constant battle cry Just wanna feel alive again, before I say goodbye (Goodbye, goodbye) These feelings overflowin', yeah, they d***n me in the deep Promises I couldn't keep playin' on repeat, on repeat... [Outro] (Piano melody becomes more prominent, b**t simplifies and fades slowly) (Ad-libs: "On repeat... yeah... midnight... thoughts...") (Vocals fade into soft humming, then silence)
