Ash Sparks
Dark, gritty garage rock with an overdriven, hypnotic bass riff as the main hook, dry kick and snare groove, minimal crunchy electric guitar accents, raspy low-mid male vocals with a confident, rebellious tone. Inspired by The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army — raw, analog, lo-fi mix with slight saturation and room reverb. Minimal arrangement, heavy bass presence, no synths, vintage rock energy.

Lyrics
Intro – Bass riff only, 4 bars
(Overdriven bass, repeating hypnotic riff)
Verse 1
The clock ticks loudly in a smoky room. The hands keep turning,
Smoke in my lungs, Fire in my head.
The night is alive, that's what she said.
Chorus
The fire burns like a flame that can't be caught.
Running through the darkness with a pack of cigarettes.
Tomorrow doesn't call, don't look back.
Only this moment ahead, no regrets.
Verse 2
The shadows curl long over the stones and the road.
Every step sparkles like a fire ready to charge.
This sound screams, cutting through the silence.
Every heart is a tight drumbeat.
Chorus
Fire burns like a flame that can't be caught.
Running through the dark with a pack of cigarettes. cigarettes
Tomorrow doesn't call, don't look back
Only this moment ahead, no regrets
Bridge – Instrumental bass & drum build
(Riff repeats, drums add tension, maybe light guitar slide accents)
Tick tock in the back of my mind
Every beat pushes to consciousness
Smoke in the air, the night is hot
If the world rocks, I'll shoot
Final Chorus – louder, rawer
Fire burns like a flame that can't be caught
Running through the dark with a pack of cigarettes
Tomorrow doesn't call, don't look back
Only this moment ahead, no regrets
Outro – Bass riff fades out
