Create English male vocals for 142 BPM D Phrygian mode phonk-witch house track, core instrumentation: distorted 808 sub-bass with portamento slides, bitcrushed skeleton cowbell patterns, reversed stretched 70s Italian horror film harpsichord samples, skittering random-velocity trap hi-hats, scrap metal clank percussive hits, buried warped harmonium dissonant drones, vocals pitched down 2.5 octaves with cathedral reverb and cascading delay. Lyrics follow a disoriented first-person narrative of wandering a rain-soaked abandoned 90s shopping mall after midnight, interspersed with half-slurred fragmented memories of a faded teenage friendship, undercurrents of hollow dread and quiet dissociation, flow shifts between lethargic slow trudge verses and sharp double-time pre-chorus bursts, reference Bones' deadpan delivery and Xavier Wulf's vivid, desolate imagery.

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hits the skylight glass
Watching the shadows pass
Neon signs flickering low
Nowhere left for us to go
Remember the arcade floor?
We don't go there anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Step in the puddle I'm losing my mind
Leave all the memories rotting behind
Clock on the wall is a frozen design
God is a ghost in a checkout line
[Chorus]
Empty halls, cold breath
Walking through a living death
Metal clank, rusted gate
Buried by the heavy weight
I can't see your face
Lost in this hollow space
[Post-Chorus]
(Lost in the space)
(Cold on my face)
(Lost in the space)
(Can't find a trace)
[Verse]
Escalator's frozen still
I just need a bitter pill
Wandering the food court alone
Silence through a broken phone
You were wearing flannels then
Won't see that smile again
[Pre-Chorus]
Static is screaming I'm hearing the hum
Fingers are shaking and feeling so numb
Shadows are tall and they're starting to run
Everything ends where it hasn't begun
[Chorus]
Empty halls, cold breath
Walking through a living death
Metal clank, rusted gate
Buried by the heavy weight
I can't see your face
Lost in this hollow space
[Bridge]
Harpsichord plays in reverse
Life is a beautiful curse
Linoleum soaked in the gray
Wish I could wash it away
Just an echo in the mall
Waiting for the sky to fall
[Hook]
It's all gone
It's all gone
It's all gone now
Midnight sun
Midnight sun
Midnight sun now
[Chorus]
Empty halls, cold breath
Walking through a living death
Metal clank, rusted gate
Buried by the heavy weight
I can't see your face
Lost in this hollow space
[Outro]
