[Intro – low bass tremble + vinyl crackle + distant engine purr] [Atmosphere: cliff wind, slow heartbeat kick, delayed sax swell] [Verse 1 – calm, razor-sharp delivery] Where were you when the edge got near? I lit a smoke, you called it fear. Leather creaked, knuckles pale, The moon blinked once — then we hit the rail. I knew how it’d end. It began with me. [Pre-Chorus – hollow snare snaps + lo-fi brass hits] I don’t blink. I don’t turn. I wait, and let it burn. [Chorus – explosive tempo shift, screeching horns] You’ll be scrapin’ your name on the blacktop, Swallowin’ sparks Tryin’ to breathe Tryin’ to scream Baby — Too late to steer. You said I was bluffin’ — Now watch me disappear. [Instrumental – fractured sax solo + breakbeat + rising tension loop] [Like tires tearing through silence. Drums skip like nerves.] [Verse 2 – sharper, more intimate tone] You talked tough With your hands on chrome, But a race ain’t truth — It’s a test alone. Jacket caught. Door won’t give. You asked for blood I showed you how I live. The air don’t flinch. And it started with me. [Pre-Chorus – ghosted trumpet + off-tempo rhythm] I don’t blink. I don’t beg. You cross the line — You crack the leg. [Chorus – faster, layered vocals, almost spiraling] You’ll be scrapin’ your name on the blacktop, Callin’ me back But I’m gone I’m long gone Baby — This was the play. You told me to prove it. I drove it away. [Bridge – ambient breakdown + whispered lines over scattered rhythm] Cuffed sleeve, caught fate. One scream, too late. The cliff don’t lie — it don’t need to. It just ends you pretty. [Instrumental – glitching loop of a heartbeat + horn stabs + engine cut] [Rhythmic breathing builds until it drops — pure silence for a beat.] [Final Chorus – half-spoken, shout-fused, echo-drenched] You’ll be wearin’ regret like a collar, Ash on your lip No name No grip Baby — It’s me you chased. But the fire don’t wait. And your jacket — well… it caught. [Outro – slow tape hiss, brake squeal, and one lonely sax note fading into wind]
