Unspoken Regret

5 hours agoAria v1
[Intro] [Verse 1] Room silent, mouth opens, words pour rapid fire. Thought sharp, thought clever, now lookin' down at the wire. Wire snappin', trap springin', sweat drippin' off my brow, Why say that? Why do that? Can't take it back now. Syllable a nail in the coffin of common sense. Wish I had a fence, filter, stop the offense. Regret's a mansion, buildin' a new wing tonight, Overthinkin' every single if, tryna make it right. If kept quiet, smiled, nodded my head, Re-read the situation, thought twice 'bout what I said. Ego jumped the g*n, anxiety's running the race, Staring at the ceiling, wish disappear without a trace. [Chorus] Words keep playin' over, tape loop in my brain, Moment thought too fast, start of the mental rain. If did this, if did that, everything would be fine, Messed it up, crossed the line, failure that’s mine. Mind's a prison, gave them the key, Rapid-fire thinking is the end of me. Trapped in sequence, what-ifs on repeat, Wish I could just rewind and delete. [Verse 2] They didn't get it, confused, spoke too fast, lost connection. Writing narratives, planning my own dissection. Why do this? Self-sabotage skill, Need a new pill, make overthinking chill. Wish breathed, took a second to process, Instead of verbal vomit causin' distress. If used that phrase, paused for the b**t, Outcome different, wouldn't feel this defeat. Silence after, loudest sound ever heard, Stuck haunted by every single word. NF style, truth depressin', Lapse in judgment, life lesson. [Bridge] Maybe forgot, maybe moved on, Memory monster sings same old song. Broken record, needle skipping, Close eyes, see that moment, tripping. Built cell with tongue, locked with regret, Consequences linger, price unpaid yet. Fear misspeaking, new armor layer, Turning into shell, silent charmer. Lost authenticity claim to own, Scared to make another mistake known. [Verse 3] Anxiety back, pacing my soul. Social interaction, losing control. Gotta be perfect, measured, right this time, One more slip-up, flawed line, committing crime. Against sanity, reputation, peace of mind, Heavy climb, leave old moment behind. Follows me, shadow with voice, face, Telling me worthless, back in place. If done better, learned lesson then, Not stuck here, writing this rap again. [Chorus] Words keep playin' over, tape loop in my brain, Moment thought too fast, start of the mental rain. If did this, if did that, everything would be fine, Messed it up, crossed the line, failure that’s mine. Mind's a prison, gave them the key, Rapid-fire thinking is the end of me. Trapped in sequence, what-ifs on repeat, Wish I could just rewind and delete. [Outro] Can't rewind it. Can't delete it. Just stuck here.
