[Verse]
Midnight staring at the ceiling again
Lost the battle, losing all of my friends
Nylon strings are crying softly for me
Stuck inside a memory I can't set free
They used to say I was the one on the rise
Now I'm just hiding all the pain in my eyes
(Echoing vocal sample: "Hood baby... go stupid...")
Yeah, I went crazy just to cover the scars
Now I'm all alone under empty stars
[Build up]
The tempo's beating at one-twenty-one
But in my heart the race is already done
Playing these chords to keep the demons away
Wishing for a tomorrow, but I'm trapped in today
Fingers bleeding on the acoustic wood
Trying to go back to my old neighborhood
But it's gone... yeah, it's all gone...
Just let the guitar cry.
[Instrument Drop]
(Melancholy nylon acoustic guitar arpeggios)
(Half-time 121 BPM lo-fi hip-hop drum groove)
(Deep smooth acoustic bassline)
(Echoing and pitched-down male vocal: "Go stupid...")
I'm just so tired. Let it fade.
[Outro End]
Just the guitar in the dark... A broken boy with a broken heart... Down south memories...
(Nylon guitar slowly fades out) (Beat stops)
