tick… tick… tick… (breathe in)

(whisper L) right now … (whisper R) say less … (soft inhale)

oh-na-na… hey-hey… la-la… lights low… (boom-boom heartbeat kick)

Billboards stitch my face in thirty-foot lies,

neon peels the night like citrus from the skies.

Morse on the ribcage: tap-tap—don’t sign,

panic on credit, I’m paying in time.

Mom said guard your lungs; the city sold me smoke,

I pawned a sunrise—store credit for hope.

Mirrors invoice what I already own—

my name, repossessed, walking home.

(ad-libs: “mmm… closer” “right now”)

1-2-3 (breathe) — align the spine,

follow the pulse, fall into time.

say less—right now (whisper) — don’t think, just move,

again-again—on repeat, we groove.

No deal—no deal—no deal (I’m real). (hey-hey)

Break the pen—let the blacklight peel. (whoa-oh)

If I fall, I fall as me—untied.

Say less—say less—won’t sell my side.

No deal—no deal—no deal (I heal). (oh-na-na)

Red ink runs, but I won’t kneel. (boom-boom)

Light me up—I scorch the seal—

No deal, no deal. (ooh-la-la)

on repeat • right now • don’t let go • let it ride • la-la • lights low

(whisper loop) closer… closer… (soft exhale)

Therapist maps wolves in highlighter moons,

A&R voicemails: “bleed by noon.”

Receipts of promises overdrafting sleep,

my shadow tried to rob me—left a note: we keep.

I tango with thunder, heel-toe past dread,

teach lightning how to whisper, then sign the stead.

City sets a metronome inside my chest—

I flip the summons to a rest.

(ad-libs: “yeah-yeah” “right now”)

1-2-3 (inhale) — align, align,

say less—right now — follow the line.

don’t let go—on repeat — we shine,

ooh-la-la—let it ride — you’re mine.

oh-na-na • yeah-yeah • right now • on repeat • don’t let go • let it ride • ooh-la-la • whoa-oh • hey-hey • boom-boom • la-la • hands up • lights low • top down • say less • my name • closer • again-again • ignite • tick-tock • call me • we won’t stop • all night

(whisper L) read the fine print: fear in italics…

(whisper R) margin notes: grief in brackets…

(center) breathe in… hold… release… (reverse cymbal → swell)

(half-shout) I keep my name—your hands off the lease.

(ASMR count-down over pad) five… four… three… two… rise.

No deal—no deal—no deal (I’m real). (hey-hey)

Break the pen—let the blacklight peel. (whoa-oh)

If I fall, I fall as me—untied.

Say less—say less—won’t sell my side.

No deal—no deal—no deal (I heal). (oh-na-na)

Blacklight truth spins on the reel. (boom-boom)

Hands up—hearts loud—we peel, we heal—

No deal, no deal. (ooh-la-la)

(whisper canon) right now… on repeat… don’t let go… let it ride…

oh-na-na… yeah-yeah… hey-hey… whoa-oh… boom-boom…

tick… tick… tick… (breathe out)
