Borrowed Minutes

At 115 BPM, this dark synthwave track launches with dense analog pads and an aggressive 808 kick, underpinned by rolling synth bass and spacious, reverbed snares, Ethereal guitar and piano swells add haunting layers, while crisp piano motifs accent transitions, Close-mic’d baritone vocals float atop the hypnotic groove, Choruses burst with glossy, complex synth layers and dynamic interplay, amplifying the melodic hook over deep bass and electronic textures

[Verse 1] Woke up wired to a white ceiling Plastic flowers Bleach and beeping Doctor’s mouth moved I heard nothing Just my own heart bargaining All the scrolling All the talking All the parties Empty walking Names and faces Paper thin How did I think that was living? [Chorus] These are borrowed minutes Signed in someone else’s ink Every ticking second Could be gone before I blink I wasted years on shallow things On every mask I ever wore These are borrowed minutes I won’t throw them on the floor [Verse 2] I remember arguing for hours Over nothing Just to feel power Leaving messages on “read” Letting real love starve instead Every promise I let rot Every “someday” that I forgot Now my hands shake pouring coffee Like I finally met the cost of me [Chorus] These are borrowed minutes Signed in someone else’s ink Every ticking second Could be gone before I blink I chased the praise Ignored the pain Broke my word Then asked for more These are borrowed minutes I won’t throw them on the floor [Bridge] I’m not a hero I’m still hollow (still learning) Still afraid of what I follow But I can call my brother back Say “I’m sorry” and mean that I can sit and watch the sunset Let it stain what I regret I can listen when you’re crying Be a little more than trying (oh) [Chorus] These are borrowed minutes Signed in someone else’s ink Every ticking second Is a chance to really think I can’t rewrite the rusted past But I can guard what I have left These are borrowed minutes I’ll spend them like they’re my last
