[Intro] Street’s all teeth and echo Ash on my jeans I talk to the cracks ’Cause they talk back to me [Chorus] These midnight stoop confessions Spilling out like cheap red wine I keep bleeding out my questions You keep saying you’re “doing fine” If I scream into the brick Will it bounce my heart in time? These midnight stoop confessions Are the only truth of mine [Verse 1] Hood up Face down Got mascara on my hands like war paint Chain-smoked Laid out On the cold stone steps where the floor ain’t Faith thin Voice thick With a “missed call” list and a sick ache You said, “Heal” I said, “When?” You said, “Soon” I said, “I might break” Left my hope in a Lyft that I never took Saved our texts like a holy book Hit delete, then I pulled it from the trash That’s the kind of grip that eats you back [Chorus] These midnight stoop confessions Spilling out like cheap red wine I keep bleeding out my questions You keep saying you’re “doing fine” If I scream into the brick Will it bounce my heart in time? These midnight stoop confessions Are the only truth of mine [Verse 2] You don’t call You just haunt Every shadow on my block knows your laugh now Every “seen” Is a stomp On a rib I was trying to patch down Got a list On my wrist Of the things that I swear I’ll never text you Cross ’em out Then I send Every word I swore I’d protect you I’ve been praying to a cracked screen glow Like, “Save me from myself,” but it says “low” Battery and I relate too much Running out of charge, still scared of touch [Chorus] These midnight stoop confessions Spilling out like cheap red wine I keep bleeding out my questions You keep saying you’re “doing fine” If I scream into the brick Will it bounce my heart in time? These midnight stoop confessions Are the only truth of mine [Bridge] Why you only hear me When my voice is breaking? (yeah) Why you only want me When I say I’m shaking? If hurt is home Then I can’t move out So I carve your name Till the letters drown (oh) [Chorus] These midnight stoop confessions Spilling out like cheap red wine I keep bleeding out my questions You keep saying you’re “doing fine” If I scream into the brick Will it bounce my heart in time? These midnight stoop confessions Are the only truth of mine [Outro] [guitar feedback rising] Words stuck in the smoke Chords hanging half-resolved I leave my lighter on the step Like proof that I dissolved If tomorrow ever asks Where the hell I went Tell it I stayed right here ’Til the echo went silent
