Guilty / Not Guilty

Dark, slow R&B ballad with female vocals; pulsing sub-bass, sparse detuned keys, and distant vocal chops, Verses stay intimate and breathy over minimal drums and atmospheric pads; chorus swells with stacked harmonies and a wide, echoing snare, Bridge leans into reverb-drenched ad-libs and filtered chords, then drops back to near-acapella for the final hook, r&b, slow, female vocals

[Verse 1] Life feel like a courtroom Fluorescent truth in my eyes One side pointin at my silence Other side swear they know my mind They read out all my history Like a list of petty crimes They argue over versions of me I can’t even recognize [Chorus] One side shoutin guilty Other side shoutin not guilty Can’t feel this life of mine I’m so numb So empty Innocent or not This life is still mine Innocent or not I serve my own time [Verse 2] Faces blur into a gallery Everybody loves a fall Judge inside my ribcage Bangin on my heart like a wall They weigh my every memory On a scale I can’t control I’m sittin here in shackles That I forged out of my soul [Chorus] One side shoutin guilty Other side shoutin not guilty Can’t feel this life of mine I’m so numb So empty Innocent or not This life is still mine Innocent or not I serve my own time [Bridge] Maybe I did nothing wrong Maybe I just stayed too quiet (too quiet) Maybe I believed their voices Till my own went silent (went silent) If I’m the jury and the crime I’m the sentence and the sign Then whatever verdict’s read tonight I still walk out with this life [Chorus] One side shoutin guilty Other side shoutin not guilty Can’t feel this life of mine I’m so numb So empty Innocent or not This life is still mine Innocent or not I serve my own time (my own time)
