Midnight and bitter, one bad decision at a time,
Another dare, another bottle, chasing comfort in the grime,
I see her smile—red flags, red lips, red lights I blow through,
Trading sense for sensation, and I always come unglued.
I’ve got bruises for souvenirs and ghosts for friends,
I crash into the consequence and pretend it never ends,
Telling lies to my reflection, running barefoot through regret,
Tasting blood and laughter, just not finished losing yet.
Flash of stupid, one more scar I wear,
Every “fuck it” in my pocket, every empty dare,
I set myself on fire just to watch it glow,
And I never learn the lesson—always gotta know.
Sunrise is a letdown, another burn to explain,
Ashes in my coffee, dumb luck in my veins,
All apologies are empty, all my promises thin,
I’ll do it all again—stupid’s how I begin.
Can’t kill the urge, can’t kill the pain,
I’ll keep dancing with disaster till I’m lost in the rain,
Still chasing that static, still begging for more,
Still burning for the high I can’t afford.
