Death On My Mind

**Verse 1:**

Late night, I’m driftin’, shadows dance where my thoughts dwell,

Silence in the kitchen, hear the tickin’ of that cold shell,

Mirror cracked, starin’ back, seein’ someone I don’t tell,

Regret in the air, but the secrets never sell.

 

Streetlight flickers—got my heart in a chokehold,

Past keeps bargin’, tryna make my soul old,

Rain on the window, frame turnin’ charcoal,

Life in the fast lane, no brake, just a dark goal.

 

I sip venom, paint pain with a splatter,

Dreams heavy like my pockets when the glass shatter,

Doubt in my veins, every pulse just a reminder,

Death on my mind, got it grippin’ like a binder.

 

**Hook:**

I walk with my head low, can’t shake off the grime,

Even angels look away, every sin has a rhyme,

Can’t sleep, visions bleed right into my time,

I keep movin’, but there’s Death on my mind.

 

**Verse 2:**

See the reaper in the rearview, tailin’ every red light,

Ghosts in the whispers, tellin’ me it’s just spite,

Frost on my knuckles, warmth lost in the fistfight,

Love’s just a myth ‘til you’re gone by the next night.

 

Concrete confessionals, I’m prayin’ in the gutter,

Prayers ricochet, disappear into the clutter,

No tears left, the well’s runnin’ like stutter,

Every friend’s a question mark, trust wears a shutter.

 

Stones in my pillowcase, weight on my sleep,

Hope’s a negotiation, promises I never keep,

If tomorrow dies young, let this memory seep—

I wrote my own eulogy, signed it with a deep.

 

**Outro:**

Sky bleeding burgundy, dawn never came,

I’m chasin’ empty echoes, tryna outrun the blame,

Candlelight flicker, can’t extinguish the pain,

Death on my mind, etchin’ scars in my name.
