SHANE the Barista II (HookGenius)

V5

[Title: SHANE (HookGenius)] Verse 1 Same hour, different pour, Steam blurs the counter's gleam. Shane, at the back door, A quiet, unfolding dream. His movements, precise, Like clockwork, slow and deep. A glint in the ice, Secrets the grinders keep. Chorus Oh, Shane, the hum, The low frequency calls. Something's come undone, Behind these coffee walls. Oh, Shane, the air, Grows heavy, thick, and cold. A vacant, knowing stare, A feeling, stark and bold. Verse 2 The milk froths to a peak, But the warmth feels thin, untrue. A peculiar creak, Every time he looks at you. The aroma turns sour, A phantom, bitter tang. Holding this hollow hour, Like a discordant gong's clang. Chorus Oh, Shane, the hum, The low frequency calls. Something's come undone, Behind these coffee walls. Oh, Shane, the air, Grows heavy, thick, and cold. A vacant, knowing stare, A feeling, stark and bold. Rap Verse [Guest Rapper] Yo, this ain't no simple latte, this is dread in a cup, Eyes like obsidian chips, they just fuckin' suck the light up. He moves too smooth, too quiet for a working man's grind, Like a glitch in the fabric, what the hell did he find? That steam ain't just water, it's a breath from the deep, Makes your skin wanna crawl, makes your very soul weep. I swear I hear voices, lost in the bean dust, This ain't just a job, this is trust turning to rust. Every stirrer, every spoon, got a silent, cold hum, This whole goddamn place feels like a crypt, where you've come. Just for a fix, a caffeine hit, then you're gone, But Shane, he stays here, till the break of the damn dawn. And then some, I reckon, a sentinel of the weird, This ain't just coffee, man, this is somethin' to be feared. Bridge The grinder sighs a final, grinding sound, The air grows heavy, no escape to be found. His uniform, too white, too still, too neat, A chill descends, from head down to your feet. The shop sign flickers, a slow, dying breath, A chilling invitation, into something like death. Outro Shane... The hum... Cold... Bold...
