Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Cold glass, midnight breath on the windowpane,
Stale coffee in the sink, my name on no one’s brain.
Streetlight fingers trace the room, soft and slow,
I fold myself in shadows where the quiet grows.
[Pre-Chorus]
I force a smile, but it slips away,
A whisper in my chest that never learned to say.
Tears like a tide, but I hold the rising line,
Learning how to breathe and pretend I’m fine.
[Chorus]
I cry when the city sleeps, my heartbeat counts the miles,
I hide the cracks with gentle laughs and borrowed smiles.
Drowning in quiet tides when no one’s by my side,
I cry when the city sleeps — can’t keep it all inside.
[Verse 2]
Phone lights dim, ringtone left unanswered again,
The hall clock ticks like footsteps from a different plan.
I fold the day into the corners of a sigh,
Brush my hair, put on my face, then say goodbye.
[Rap Verse]
Night drips slow, tip-tap on the windowsill (tip-tap),
Cold breath, stale coffee, silence stayin’ real (stayin’ real).
Three a.m. thoughts in a triplet, heartbeats spill — spill, spill,
Mask on tight but the edges peel, peel, peel.
Unanswered calls, echoes bounce in an empty room,
I’m writing lines into the dark just to feel the tune.
Pressure on the chest, short breaths, I keep it low,
But the words push—soft then sharp—until they overflow.
[Pre-Chorus — Variation]
I practice smiles like they’re songs I have to sing,
A quiet storm that hums beneath everything.
Tears like a tide — I learn to fold them, hide,
Still my fingers tremble when I try to lie.
[Chorus]
I cry when the city sleeps, my heartbeat counts the miles,
I hide the cracks with gentle laughs and borrowed smiles.
Drowning in quiet tides when no one’s by my side,
I cry when the city sleeps — can’t keep it all inside.
[Bridge]
If you see me with a laugh, don’t be deceived,
There’s a small eclipse that my daylight can’t retrieve.
I’m a map of broken lines, an honest, fragile art,
Wishing for one steady hand to trace me back to start.
[Short Rap Bridge — Punchy]
Flip the script, night split, I whisper then I shout,
Short breaths, quick steps, try to work the doubt out.
Syllables fall like rain — soft, then hard —
I’m reaching through the dark for some small shard.
[Chorus — Final]
I cry when the city sleeps, my heartbeat counts the miles,
I hide the cracks with gentle laughs and borrowed smiles.
Drowning in quiet tides, I’m learning how to ride,
I cry when the city sleeps — but I’m still here inside.
[Outro]
Silent tears when nobody’s awake, a small, steady ache,
Still I stand in the hush, waiting for a morning that’ll break.
A quiet hope, a fragile light beyond the night,
I keep the window open just to find a little light.
