Title: The Party Genre Feel: Dark melodic rap / alt-R&B anthem Intro In a room I sat, Heart didn’t move. Everybody talked, I just watched the room. Yeah. Chorus We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. Faces in a cycle, Laughing through their teeth. I was looking for a feeling, They were looking for the beat. I made the whole room light up, Then walked out lonely. We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. They called me their friend, But they never really seen me. Music too loud, Smoke too deep, I wanted something real, But the night wanted me. Verse 1 In a room I sat, My heart stayed still. People chattered loud, I forgot how to feel. In a room I walked, Heart steady like a drum. People talked around me, So I nodded like I’m one. I laughed when they laughed, Sipped when they poured, Smiled at the same faces I was already bored of. They claimed they knew me, Claimed I was their friend, But I looked at their lips And heard nonsense again. I wanted something deeper, Something under all the noise, Not another empty cup, Not another empty voice. I wanted conversation That could pull me from my head. But every word felt plastic, Every smile felt dead. Pre-Chorus I don’t hate them. I don’t blame them. They came here to forget. But I came here to find something I still ain’t found yet. Chorus We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. Faces in a cycle, Laughing through their teeth. I was looking for a feeling, They were looking for the beat. I made the whole room light up, Then walked out lonely. We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. They called me their friend, But they never really seen me. Music too loud, Smoke too deep, I wanted something real, But the night wanted me. Verse 2 In a room I pretended, But I wanted more. Something past this bitter lonely Standing by the door. Maybe to dance, Maybe to laugh, Maybe to drink the moment Without needing it back. But feelings fade fast When the bottle goes dry. Then it’s just me again, Looking through drunk eyes. All these self-made friends, All these strangers in rotation, All these blurry little faces Feeding one temptation. Alcohol in the kitchen, Smoke in the air, Everybody saying love With nobody really there. We were all here for the party, Not truly for each other. Just bodies in a room Trying not to feel the weather. And I forgot my yesterdays, Didn’t care for tomorrow. Today was a blend Of borrowed smiles and sorrow. Pre-Chorus 2 My heart hit panic, So I found the bathroom floor. Let the hurt drown in music Then stood up from the war. For that night, I enjoyed being alone. But I dreaded the next one, When I’d come back home. Chorus We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. Faces in a cycle, Laughing through their teeth. I was looking for a feeling, They were looking for the beat. I made the whole room light up, Then walked out lonely. We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. They called me their friend, But they never really seen me. Music too loud, Smoke too deep, I wanted something real, But the night wanted me. Bridge Maybe I’m the reason That I’m stuck in this crowd. Maybe I built the room Then complained it got loud. Maybe they got used to me Being the one who stays. Maybe it feels selfish When I choose my own way. Outside under the stars, The party kept screaming. I could hear them all laughing While my chest started breathing. I took one step, Heart leaping in my ribs. This is good for me, This is how I live. Then I heard, “Wait.” “The party’s getting lit.” That voice. That pull. That old familiar grip. The temptation. The self-proclaimed friends. The same little cycle Trying to drag me back in. Then a hand grabbed my arm Like I owed them my pain. “All these people showed up To your house, And you’re walking away?” That’s when it hit me. I created the party. I invited the crowd. I built the whole cage, Then wondered why I couldn’t get out. Final Chorus We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. Faces in a cycle, Laughing through their teeth. I was looking for a feeling, They were looking for the beat. I made the whole room light up, Then walked out lonely. We all came for the party, But nobody came for me. They called me their friend, But they never really seen me. Music too loud, Smoke too deep, I wanted something real, So I finally chose me. Outro I ended the party. The room went cold. They found somewhere else To forget their souls. And things continued, Elsewhere, Without me. For once, That felt like peace.
