(Intro – whispered, eerie, distant sirens in background) Another body in the water… Another name they won’t say… Welcome to Rainey… Where the night don’t look away. ⸻ (Verse 1 – half-screamed rap) Streetlights flicker like a warning sign Breath get tight every time I cross that line Glass in my veins, blood full of noise Can’t tell if I’m the hunter or just a voice Footsteps echo when nobody’s near I look in the mirror — don’t recognize the fear Whispers in puddles, reflections lie You don’t drown on Rainey… You just… disappear. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus – melodic & tense) I hear ’em calling from the cracks in the street They speak in silence and they walk with me Hands in the dark that I can’t outrun Every night I lose someone ⸻ (Chorus – screamed, catchy and brutal) DROWN ON RAINEY, SINK IN STYLE!!! They smile in the dark, walk single file Lights go dim, and the air gets cold Another soul gone — story never told DROWN ON RAINEY, NO ESCAPE!!! Name gets lost when you tempt that fate This city don’t sleep, it just waits You ain’t safe past that gate… ⸻ (Verse 2 – chaotic, unhinged delivery) Bar lights blink like a death parade Too much smoke, too much blade I smell the fear in the back of the bar I see the truth in a cop car star Liquor on breath, secrets in pockets Every laugh’s just a ticking rocket There’s a killer in the crowd, and it might be me Or maybe I’m just what they want me to be ⸻ (Bridge – soft singing over eerie guitar) Neon stains on my shoes again… I try to scream, but I’m choking in I float face down in a dream of sin Was it me? Was it them? Or the street I’m in? ⸻ (Chorus – repeat w/ more energy) DROWN ON RAINEY, SINK IN STYLE!!! They smile in the dark, walk single file Lights go dim, and the air gets cold Another soul gone — story never told DROWN ON RAINEY, NO ESCAPE!!! Name gets lost when you tempt that fate This city don’t sleep, it just waits You ain’t safe past that gate… ⸻ (Breakdown – full scream, distorted) WHO’S NEXT?! WHO’S NEXT?! I SEE BLOOD WHERE YOU SEE DRESS WHO’S NEXT?! WHO’S NEXT?! THIS AIN’T DEATH — THIS IS A TEST!!! ⸻ (Outro – whispered, distant thunder) Another one gone No name… no sound… They never found him… They never found me.
