[Intro – eerie synth motif, filtered 808 pulse] Yeah… Long nights. Same ghosts. Still here. [Verse 1 – sparse beat, deep sub, detached low delivery] I've been moving with the lights off, same weight sitting on my chest. Every door I thought would lead out put me somewhere I knew less. Phone dead, curtains closed, 3 A.M., down that same old road. Heard those voices in my head, sounding like the ghosts I know. I don't talk about the old me, I don't know him anymore. Still there's something underneath me that won't stay down on the floor. [Pre-Chorus – hats tighten, 808 begins to slide] And I know… I know… When the blood runs cold, when the whole room goes quiet, there's a pulse below. [Chorus – full sliding 808, hard drums, low hypnotic melody] Out of the dark, into the light. Been down too long, but I ain't died. Hands on the wheel, red in my eyes. I lost myself just to survive. Out of the dark, into the light. No one came— I saved my life. Still got the scars, still got the nights, but I'm still here… into the light. [Post-Chorus – stripped 808, low doubled vocal] Into the light… Into the light… Still got the dark in me, I just don't live there tonight. [Verse 2 – tight rhythmic flow, sparse piano] Every scar got an address, every loss still knows my name. I can drive past where it happened without looking down that way. Used to wear all of that damage like I had to keep the pain. Now I let the silence hit me, let it hit — then breathe again. Same face in the mirror, different eyes looking back. I ain't saying that I'm healed, I just learned to live with that. [Pre-Chorus – rising sub tension, restrained vocal] And I know… I know… When the blood runs cold, when the whole room goes quiet, there's a pulse below. [Chorus – heavier 808 movement, wider low vocal] Out of the dark, into the light. Been down too long, but I ain't died. Hands on the wheel, red in my eyes. I lost myself just to survive. Out of the dark, into the light. No one came— I saved my life. Still got the scars, still got the nights, but I'm still here… into the light. [Bridge – near silence, sub heartbeat, exposed close-mic vocal] If I fall… I know the floor. If I break… I've broke before. Ain't looking for somebody to tell me I'll be fine. I just heard my own heart beating for the first time in a while. [Beat returns – distorted 808 swell] That's enough. [Final Chorus – massive sliding 808, hard drums, layered low vocal] Out of the dark, into the light. Been down too long, but I ain't died. Hands on the wheel, red in my eyes. I lost myself just to survive. Out of the dark, into the light. No one came— I saved my life. Still got the scars, still got the nights, but I'm still here… into the light. [Outro – drums cut, eerie synth motif + sub] Into the light… Still got the dark in me. I just don't live there tonight.
