Room For One

[Verse 1]
Two chairs at the table
Only one scraped back
Two cups in the cupboard
One stay stacked
Phone face down
Ain’t nobody blowin’ it up
Whole life loud online
But the crib stay shut
Blue light glow on my face
Timeline full, but I’m hollow
Scroll through people in love
Like a show I can’t follow
Got a laugh on loop
That I save for the street
Soon as I twist that key
It’s just my echo and feet
[Chorus]
I’ve been all alone
Four walls, that’s my crowd
Talkin’ to the ceiling
‘Cause I can’t talk out loud
I’ve been all alone
Heart cold, eyes dry
If I disappear tonight
Would it cross your mind?
[Verse 2]
Uber driver askin’ me
“Big plans?” — yeah right
Goin’ home to the boxes
Never unpacked from that night
Where the pictures came down
Left those clean white squares
Ghosts of what we were
Now it’s just blank air
I got numbers in my phone
That I’ll never press
They got kids, got rings
I got unread texts
Hit “type,” then delete
Leave the bubbles on hold
Rather drown in my thoughts
Than admit I’m this cold
[Chorus]
I’ve been all alone
Four walls, that’s my crowd
Talkin’ to the ceiling
‘Cause I can’t talk out loud
I’ve been all alone
Heart cold, eyes dry
If I disappear tonight
Would it cross your mind?
[Bridge]
I tell jokes in my head
I don’t even laugh
Dream ’bout runnin’ it back
Then wake up and crash
I’m the last one left
When the beat die down
Just a quiet kid
In a too-loud town
[Chorus]
I’ve been all alone
Four walls, that’s my crowd
Talkin’ to the ceiling
‘Cause I can’t talk out loud
I’ve been all alone
Heart cold, eyes dry
If I disappear tonight
Would it cross your mind?

rap, Sparse boom-bap with warm vinyl crackle, male vocals. Introspective verses ride a laid-back, head-nod groove with filtered piano chops and subtle bass swells. Chorus opens wider with airy vocal doubles and a low synth pad, drums hitting a little harder. Final hook strips back to kick, snare, and voice, lingering in the empty space., hip hop
