Lyrik

[Intro] (Deep atmospheric sub-bass, icy JD-800 pizzicato riff starts slowly)

[Verse 1 / Narrator: Deep Male Baritone / Very Intimate] 

Three A.M. ... the city is a ghost. 
I'm standing where the light doesn't reach.
Watching the smoke rise... like old regrets.
I told myself I'd be gone by now.
But the floor is sticky... and the rhythm is a cage.

[Verse 2 / Narrator: Deep Male Baritone / Crystalline & Melancholic] 

My dreams are leaning against the brick wall outside, getting soaked in the grey rain. 
They don't even recognize me anymore.
I've traded the sun for this neon hum.
A fair trade? Maybe.
But the silence in between the beats... it's getting louder.

[Chorus / Full Female Choir / High-pitched & Ethereal] 

Why do I stay? 

Why do I stay? (In the echo...) 

Why do I stay? 

In this hollow light... I stay.

[Verse 3 / Narrator: Deep Male Baritone / Stronger] 

I didn't want the crown. I wanted the connection.
A sign... a spark... a reason to believe the night isn't endless.
But the sky is a blank screen. No stars to guide the way home.
Just this feeling... of being exactly where I'm supposed to be.
And nowhere at all.

[Bridge / Breakdown / Whispered] 

I'm still here. Not because of the music. 
But because the walk home... feels like a mountain
I can't climb tonight.
So I let the bass take the weight.

[Final Chorus / Full Energy Drop! Heavy 909 House Beat] 

Why do I stay? 

Why do I stay? (I'm still here...) 

Why do I stay? 

In the heart of the change... 

I stay.

[Outro / Narrator: Final Words] 

The question is the answer.
Let it rain. (Let it rain...)
