Goodnight, everyone. <3 **Lyrics and lyric/song structure written and created by ๐Ÿ‘ป GHOST ๐Ÿ‘ป** [Intro โ€“ faint ambient swell, muted keys, subtle background hums] (instrumental only โ€“ dusty lo-fi textures, ambient synths with detuned echoes) [Verse 1 โ€“ raw vocals, restrained emotion, light compression FX] i open old notebooks just to see where my hands shook. some of the lines slant harder than others, depending on the kind of day it was or what drug i was under... used to strum out rhythms with my fingertips, on the desk, on my leg, on the strings of my guitar, just to keep something steady, and the hurt afar.... thereโ€™s comfort in repetition, even when the rhythm breaks for a moment ... [Chorus โ€“ slightly layered vocals, soft reverb, mellow trap beat enters] every page is a pain i asked to die, but it never does, and that's alright... writing helps me slow the panic down, long enough to let me breathe... these songs donโ€™t heal, but they tell me where it hurts, and thatโ€™s the part i find worth.... [Verse 2 โ€“ vocal tone more direct, lo-fi beat continues, minimal FX] i thought talking about it might fix this, but some things lose meaning when you overthink it... still, itโ€™s better than silence, better than pretending iโ€™m above it... I write lines that make even me cry and i keep them anyway, not because I like them but because they're mine... truth doesnโ€™t wait until youโ€™re ready, it just shows up and expects a seat... [Chorus โ€“ repeat with new vocal ad-libs and detuned harmonies] every page is a pain i asked to die, but it never does, and that's alright... writing helps me slow the panic down, long enough to let me breathe.... these songs donโ€™t heal, but they tell me where it hurts, and thatโ€™s the part i find worth... [Bridge / Breakdown โ€“ stripped instrumental, whispered doubled vocals] some nights, i read back old drafts, like theyโ€™re messages from a version of me, that knew iโ€™d forget what mattered and couldn't see... the sadness doesnโ€™t scare me, itโ€™s the clarity that does... seeing it all spelled out, without excuses or a single doubt... [Outro โ€“ fading synth loop, slowed-down vocal fragments in background] iโ€™m not chasing answers anymore, just a moment of silence.... for a long night's rest.....
