Intro (XXXTENTACION — breathy, whispered) Shards of night, I sew them to my chest, Counting broken lullabies I never rest. Verse 1 (Juice WRLD + Manuel — melodic, emotive) Neon echoes chase me down the hall, Photographs fall like rain against the wall. You said forever with a half-broken smile, I kept the minutes and I hid them for a while. Torn maps on the floor, I trace the lines I drew, Every step away from you became a truth. I catch the pieces when the light refuses in, Wear my regret like armor on my skin. Pre-Chorus (Manuel — rising, big build) I hold the match but fear the flame, I call your name but never say the same. Chorus (Juice WRLD melodic lead + Manuel power) I’m falling through the sky, still trying to learn to fly, Heartbeat like a drum, counting down the time. If love is thunder then I’m lighting up the night, I’ll burn the dark until it gives me back the light. (Whisper ad-lib — XXXTENTACION style: “don’t let me go…”) Verse 2 (Eminem — fast, aggressive, technical rap) Yeah — step into the ring of mirrors, watch the echoes spit, Mind’s a loaded chapter, burn the pages, watch it split. I’m a problem with a heartbeat, pen a verdict on the scar, Clip the doubts like bullets, rapid-fire from the car. You bet on my collapse, placed chips on my decline, I turned the noise into a metronome, set cadence for the climb. Snapping syntax into shape, every sentence fights the shame, I lace up rhymes like armor — call it therapy in flame. Double-time the hustle, double down the scarlet ink, I flip the script, I crack the calm, I turn the brink to brink. Pre-Chorus (Manuel — lifted, emotive) I hold the match though fear it still remains, I call your name and swallow back the change. Chorus (Juice WRLD + Manuel — fuller, stacked harmonies, autotune) I’m falling through the sky, still trying to learn to fly, Heartbeat like a drum, counting down the time. If love is thunder then I’m lighting up the night, I’ll burn the dark until it gives me back the light. (Ad-libs — breathy: “I’ll rise… I’ll rise.”) Bridge (XXXTENTACION — minimal whisper + fragile melody) Quiet like a courtroom, my mind pleads with the moon, Hands tremble on the ledger, sign my name with ruin. If silence is a sentence, let me speak till noon, Hold the echo of my voice — don’t let it leave too soon. Final Chorus (All combined — Juice WRLD melody, Manuel power, Eminem ad-lip bursts, X-style whispers) I’m falling through the sky, still learning how to fly, Heartbeat like a drum, racing with the night. If love is lightning, I’ll be lightning in the storm, I’ll spark the dark and keep the ember warm. (Ad-libs: rap double-time echoes, whispered decays — “stay… stay…”) Outro (XXXTENTACION — fading breathy) Moon keeps my secrets, dawn will learn my name, Ashes hold the stories, but the story’s still a flame.
