[PSYCHEDELIC ALTERNATIVE HIP-HOP] [DARK ATMOSPHERIC TRAP] [78 BPM][SUBTLE SWING] [MALE BARITONE – EXCEPTIONALLY ETHEREAL, RESONANT] [RELAXED CONVERSATIONAL RAP] [FLUID INTERNAL RHYMES][HYPNOTIC POCKET] [NO SHOUTING][NO THEATRICAL DELIVERY] [START] [HOOK] [VOCAL – DEEP BARITONE, SMOOTH, HYPNOTIC] [GUITAR – HAUNTING CLEAN RIFF] [RHODES – WARM, DETUNED] [808 – DEEP, RESTRAINED] [DRUMS – SPARSE, DRY] Same old haze, same old high, Same four walls and a wandering mind. Eyes half closed, hours slide, I'm somewhere else still floating by. Heavy on my head, but I'm feeling light, Got a lot on my mind that I keep inside. Too gone to sleep, too numb to fight, Caught somewhere between dead and alive. [VERSE 1] [VOCAL – EXCEPTIONALLY DEEP MALE BARITONE, CONVERSATIONAL RAP] [FLOW – CONTINUOUS, FLUID, INTRICATE INTERNAL RHYMES] [DELIVERY – RELAXED, SLIGHTLY BEHIND THE BEAT] [CADENCE – NATURAL VARIATION, BRIEF DOUBLE-TIME BURSTS] [DRUMS – STEADY HEAD-NOD POCKET] [808 – THICK, ROUNDED, MELODIC GLIDES] [GUITAR / RHODES – HYPNOTIC REPEATING MOTIFS] Been losing track of the days, I got a calendar full of mistakes, A couple of screws in my head coming loose, hear the gears start to grind and shake. I keep a straight face, let the strange thoughts circulate, Been smoking to soften the edges, but everything's starting to ache. I wake up at noon with a headache, a half-empty glass and a haze, Been reaching for reasons to get up, then watching them drifting away. My phone's full of messages, missed calls, excuses I haven't explained, Take another hit, let the minutes dissolve, and forget what I meant to say. Got a thousand things to finish, but I barely make a start, Been negotiating with myself like we're two people in the dark. Every little decision turns into a debate inside my head, By the time I make my mind up, I forgot what I was gonna do instead. I got a chemical confidence, counterfeit calm in my chest, A fragile agreement with all of my demons, pretending we're getting along. Been telling myself I'll get better whenever I finally get rest, Lying to myself, knowing insomnia's gonna keep me up all night long. Been contemplating consciousness, caught in a cognitive loop, Convinced I'm in control until I notice who's controlling the truth. I got a god complex, no confidence, contradictions to prove, And a devil on my shoulder getting bored of telling me what to do. I been dissecting my dreams, picking the seams till the meaning unravels, Packing my fears in a suitcase, then wondering why I don't travel. Got a ticket to nowhere, a pocket of change and a head full of gravel, Been chasing a change of scenery, stuck in a motionless saddle. Been running on fumes, got a head full of plans that I never pursue, A list of excuses, a few good intentions, a hell of a lot to undo. I get lost in the details, derail myself thinking of what I could lose, Then laugh at the irony, wasting my life being scared what I'll choose. Been critically cynical, sick of the rituals, stuck in my ways, A little too lucid to lose it, too lifted to know what to say. Been dodging the damage, disguising the panic, deflecting the blame, But the voice in my head knows the truth, and the bastard's been using my name. [HOOK] [VOCAL – DEEP BARITONE, SMOOTH, HYPNOTIC] [808 – FULL, WARM SUB-BASS] [DRUMS – FULL LAID-BACK GROOVE] [ATMOSPHERE – WIDER, MORE IMMERSIVE] Same old haze, same old high, Same four walls and a wandering mind. Eyes half closed, hours slide, I'm somewhere else still floating by. Heavy on my head, but I'm feeling light, Got a lot on my mind that I keep inside. Too gone to sleep, too numb to fight, Caught somewhere between dead and alive. [FINAL HOOK] [VOCAL – INTIMATE, SUBTLY DOUBLE-TRACKED] [INSTRUMENTATION – GRADUAL STRIP-BACK] [808 – SLOW FADE] [GUITAR / RHODES – LINGERING PSYCHEDELIC MOTIF] Same old haze, same old high, Same four walls and a wandering mind. Eyes half closed, hours slide, I'm somewhere else still floating by. Heavy on my head, but I'm feeling light, Got a lot on my mind that I keep inside. Too gone to sleep, too numb to fight, Caught somewhere between dead and alive. [END]
