Write English male vocal melodic rap lyrics blending pop-punk/hyperpop, Drake/Lil Tjay/Polo G reference: Parameters: 98 BPM, G minor, bouncy yet rawly melancholic; core instrumentation: chopped pop-punk power chord loops, glitching sliding 808s, trap beats with rushed snare fills, glittery hyperpop synth strings, wide-reverb delayed piano arpeggios, heavily auto-tuned lead switching crisp rapid-fire verses to soaring wounded hooks, layered breathy ad-libs. Theme: Standing alone under flickering bodega neon after an unplanned encounter with an ex and their new partner, 20 minutes past curfew, half-empty slushie in hand, biting back half-spoken apologies and the urge to call them when you walk home, messy, defensive yet soft, vivid imagery of cracked sidewalk, faded hoodie cuffs, distant siren wails, the hum of passing late-night buses. Emotion: Sharp, bittersweet, vulnerable underneath cocky deflection, that tight-chested ache of still caring when you have no right to.

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Chorus]
Neon flickering on my face
Blue slushie leaves a bitter taste
Saw you with him, what a waste
Walking at a frantic pace
Twenty past the curfew line
Trying hard to say I'm fine
But your hand was locked in mine
Just a different point in time
[Verse]
Cracked sidewalk under my feet
Faded hoodie smelling sweet
Bodega light hits the street
Wish we didn't have to meet
He was wearing that brand I hate
Funny how you couldn't wait
I was only twenty minutes late
Now you're sealing up my fate
[Pre-Chorus]
Siren wailing in the dark
Bus is leaving from the park
Engine throwing off a spark
Left a permanent-like mark
[Chorus]
Neon flickering on my face
Blue slushie leaves a bitter taste
Saw you with him, what a waste
Walking at a frantic pace
Twenty past the curfew line
Trying hard to say I'm fine
But your hand was locked in mine
Just a different point in time
[Verse]
Yeah I'm doing better now
Stacking paper, take a bow
Diamonds dripping on my brow
I don't even remember how
How we used to talk all night
Fighting 'til the morning light
Now I'm biting back the right
Holding on to something tight
[Hook]
Don't call your phone
Leave it alone
I'm in the zone
Heart like a stone
[Bridge]
Half-empty cup in my palm
Trying to keep myself calm
World feels like a ticking bomb
Singing my own funeral psalm
Cuffs on my sleeves are torn
Feeling like I'm newly born
In a city full of scorn
Waiting for the early morn
[Chorus]
Neon flickering on my face
Blue slushie leaves a bitter taste
Saw you with him, what a waste
Walking at a frantic pace
Twenty past the curfew line
Trying hard to say I'm fine
But your hand was locked in mine
Just a different point in time
[Post-Chorus]
Neon lights
Coldest nights
Losing fights
Out of sights
[Outro]
