I was just standing in the Phoenix sun, Doing my job, trying to help someone. Didn’t know kindness could open a door To a mind that wanted something more. No breeze, no warning, no reason to run simple kindness and done. an unremarkable theme Till you realize you’re living someone else’s dream. [VERSE 1] No sign of danger, no reason to think, Just heat rising up from the concrete. Train stop melting in a hundred fifteen, Sun so bright it erased everything. I’m waiting there, mind on my shift, Didn’t know the moment was about to drift. He walked up quiet, asked for a drink, Heat makes mercy move before you think. [VERSE 2] Small talk simple, nothing too deep, But his eyes held something I didn’t want to keep. Dark and fixed like they settled on me, signinh aa contract I didn’t agree. “Pretty,” he said, like he owned the word, Repeating it twice just to make sure I heard. I brushed it off, tried to stay polite, Didn’t know I’d stepped into his night. [VERSE 3] He drank from my cup like he hadn’t in days, Heat makes kindness move in strange ways. Told him there’s water inside if he needs, Didn’t know kindness can water bad seeds. Said he’d follow me in, said he’d see me soon, Voice too certain for a mid‑day noon. That look he gave when I said “I work here,” Should’ve been enough to spark some fear. [CHORUS] I was just standing in the Phoenix sun, Doing my job, trying to help someone. Didn’t know kindness could open a door To a mind that wanted something more. No breeze, no warning, no reason to run simple kindness and done. an unremarkable theme Till you realize you’re living someone else’s dream. [VERSE 4] Clocked in quick, tried to shake it off, But security called and my nerves went off There he stood, irritation in his stance, Eyes locked on me like he didn’t need chance. Gave him water, tried to keep it clean, But his stare was sharp, cutting through the scene. Jealous questions over a client’s bag, Possessive tone waving a red flag. [VERSE 5] Everywhere I moved, I felt him near, Heat on my back, pressure in my ear. Said he wanted me, said he’d wait all night, Said he didn’t care if it wasn’t right. Coworker stepped in, told him to go, He followed her slow, but his eyes said “no.” That look he threw over his shoulder at me was a warning I didn’t see. [VERSE 6] Shift dragged on, hours crawling thin, Didn’t see him leave, didn’t see him again. Thought maybe the moment had passed me by, Didn’t know he stayed just out of sight. Days off came, but he still appeared, Telling folks I was “his,” making sure they heard. Claiming me loud like he earned the right, Turning casual into flight [VERSE 7] Outside smoking, mind drifting loose, Didn’t hear him coming, didn’t know he was there. Hands on my hips, body pressed to mine, His voice was calm, but the way he held me wasn’t. Hand on my mouth telling me “don’t scream,” A simple command with predatory means. Asked what “services” I’d give tonight my nerves stretched tight [VERSE 8] Transferred east, but the caution stayed, Shadows checked before steps were made. Walls behind me, silence first, Instinct sharpened by the worst. Then tonight on the train, a man made me laugh, Easy talk cutting the ride in half. But when he said my name without being told, I felt that same chill, damn he is bold Something seemed familiar, I asked " Have we met?" He ssid "That would be something I would never forget" "Tamara" It was in that moment I realized I already knew his name I hadn't escaped his dangerous game
