[Intro]
Bass hums in the dark, a low tide in my chest
City sighs at midnight, neon halos my unrest
[Verse 1]
I move through shadows where the pavement keeps my secrets
Rain on windowpanes mirrors thoughts I never speak of
The bass arrives like gravity, pulling me back to the edge
Of quiet rooms and louder truths I pretend not to shed
[Chorus]
Let the rhythm ground me, hold me in the ache
In the hollow of midnight, I hear what I could not say
Weight of silence heavy, but the thump keeps me awake
I’m listening for your echo in the bass’s soft refrain
[Verse 2]
Streets drip silver, tall buildings press my breath in
I catalog my longings where the bassline leads the poem’s skin
Every throb a doorway, every pulse a rueful vow
To stay, to drift, to be seen in the tremor of this sound
[Chorus]
Let the rhythm ground me, hold me in the ache
In the hollow of midnight, I hear what I could not say
Weight of silence heavy, but the thump keeps me awake
I’m listening for your echo in the bass’s soft refrain
[Bridge]
If silence is a city, I am its quiet street
The bass is the carriage where your memory greets
[Chorus]
Let the rhythm ground me, hold me in the ache
In the hollow of midnight, I hear what I could not say
Weight of silence heavy, but the thump keeps me awake
I’m listening for your echo in the bass’s soft refrain
[Outro]
Bass fades to a whisper, night stillness finds my name
I’m here, footfalls synced to the last remaining flame of flame
