Down On Rainey

(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.
