[Intro]
Yeah
Been talkin' to the ceiling again
Huh
[Verse 1]
I been ghostin' all my friends, leave 'em on read
Say I'm tired, truth is I can't leave my bed
Mom callin', say she worried I don't eat
I just DoorDash guilt and go back to sleep
Scrollin' through my past like it's headlines
Smilin' in the pics but it's deadlines
Every "you good?" gets a "yeah, I'm fine"
Then I stare at the wall and rewind
[Chorus]
Empty drops
When the beat cuts out, it's just me and my thoughts
Every bar feel real, every scar I caught
Talkin' to the mic like a late-night doc
Empty drops
If I say I'm okay, you can hear that I'm not
Heart keep bleedin' but the world don't stop
So I bleed on the track 'til the room go
[Instrumental Break]
[beat cuts, faint room tone, distant vinyl crackle]
[Verse 2]
Therapist say "write it down, make a list"
I just write names of the people I miss
Every line look like someone I pushed
'Cuz I never text back when they ask how I look
Ex hit me up, say she proud I exist
Funny how it hurts more than when we split
I don't need praise, I need eight hours rest
And a mind that don't treat love like a test
Self-hate talkin' in a calm low voice
Sayin' "pick the worst path, that's always your choice"
Every win I get, I move goalposts back
Tell myself it's luck, never say I snapped
[Chorus]
Empty drops
When the beat cuts out, it's just me and my thoughts
Every bar feel real, every scar I caught
Talkin' to the mic like a late-night doc
Empty drops
If I say I'm okay, you can hear that I'm not
Heart keep bleedin' but the world don't stop
So I bleed on the track 'til the room go
[Instrumental Break]
[beat mutes, distant vocal reverb tail hangs, then silence]
[Bridge]
Who gon' love me when the streams slow down?
When the timeline bored of my sad-boy sound?
If my phone stay dark for a couple odd days
Do I vanish, or do I change?
Got a group chat muted that I still won't leave
Cuz I like seein' proof someone think of me
But I dip from the function, blame traffic and rain
Truth is, I can't stand my own name
[Chorus]
Empty drops
When the beat cuts out, it's just me and my thoughts
Every bar feel real, every scar I caught
Talkin' to the mic like a late-night doc
Empty drops
If I say I'm okay, you can hear that I'm not
Heart keep bleedin' but the world don't stop
So I bleed on the track 'til the room go
[Outro]
(Yeah)
Room go quiet, I don't
Heart still riot, I won't
Post that shit, I just
Live that shit
Then I hit play again
