The flashing lights of your night life
Told you to slow the hell down,
But you were already crashing down within yourself,
What's a little danger outside of your own head, right?

Drug money, strip clubs,
Dirty streets,
Electric eyes.
The limelight of these things draws you in
Moth to the flame

You're coked up on some kind of drug,
the highs and lows hit you hard.
A substance can't be your addiction, your sin, yet also your redemption.

Everything is so fast,
go go go,
Someday your youth will run low on battery.
Red lights never stopped you, though.

I get caught up watching from afar,
Shit, man,
You're on one hell of a road.
We both know how this ends,
We'll both end up as disasters
In quite different ways, I must predict.

Headlights meet like our eyes always did,
Difference is headlights get messy,
But our collisions were heavenly.
(Be sure to tell me if the sky compares to what we call this that we've got going down here)

You see, reality struck you with panic as your world turned white.
Your life dizzily spun before your eyes
And oh my god, you didn't like what you saw.
That's not to say there weren't moments you felt alive
Because your life buzzed with sleep deprivation and adrenaline;
You just ached to have spent seconds and minutes and hours and time
Differently-
Would've could've should've
Loved more often,
Watched more closely,
Experienced more than what was decaying your systems.

Idk rap brought that on haha roll with it idk I don't even know where this was going tbh, just another random character in a made up story in my head. I really do enjoy writing like this, because it brings to life a lot of the shit and fantasies and dreamt up concepts and people that reside in my mind. It's a beautiful magic to paint with words.
