Verse 1] Same black coffee, same cigarette light Same nine-to-five where tired shad [ows bite The streets stay frozen — the city feels unchanged Another ghost learning slowly how to fade [Verse 1b] They smile like saints but hold the knives behind They laugh and watch another year unwind Stars hang silent in that distant sky I clock the hours with a heart run dry [Pre-Hook] I'm not alive — I'm breathing on repeat Same damn movie, same damn seat Clock keeps ticking, I misplaced the key Late night comes and nothing fits me [Bridge instrumental — 18–20 sec] [Verse 2] Corner store glow under flicker light Empty bed waiting through another night They speak in static that I can't receive White noise spinning, pulling me to leave [Bridge (sung)] They smile like saints, but eyes still hold a knife They clap and watch the slow bleed of life Stars hang quiet, never changing line I walk on autopilot, losing time [Bridge instrumental — 25–30 sec] [Chorus] Same stars watching from a cold, still sky Same broken promise — I will try to lie I keep walking while my shadow stays behind Still trapped inside a life that wasn't mine [Post-Chorus] Not alive — I'm counting down these days Caught inside this maze of empty ways Stars don't move and neither do I Still here asking why I'm still alive [Bridge instrumental — 10 sec] [Outro] Same Damn Stars — dead on repeat Same Damn Stars — dead on repeat
