(Verse 1)
Cold floor,
North end flat.
Lift don't work,
Dad’s not back.

(Verse 2)
Dark stairwell.
One lost friend,
Two won’t tell.
Or they'll catch a shell.

(Pre-Hook / Build)
Never asked for grace,
Never saw the crown.
I was raised by ghosts
In a concrete town.
Bled in boots
With laces torn—
Still walkin’
Like I’m half-reborn.

(Hook – Slam)
Cold slab—
That’s where they lay us.
Brick hearts
And rusted prayers.
No king,
No saviour plan—
Just blood on my hands
Where a boy once ran.

[dramatic pause with instrumental build up]

(Verse 3 - intense and sadly spoken.)
Boiler's off,
Curtains drawn.
Her meds ran out
So she stayed gone.
I found no light
In her final breath—
One sharp note
And a quiet death.

(Final Hook – Harder, shorter)
Cold slab—
Yeah, that’s the sound.
Dig too long,
You hit the ground.
No throne,
No turning back—
Just me, my name,
And this cold slab.

(Verse 4)
Council letter,
Red stamp glare.
Said move out—
Like they ever cared.
I slept in shoes,
Dreams went blank,
Pound for pain
In a system that sank.

(Verse 5)
Lost my faith
Somewhere in the frost.
Learned to count
Every breath as cost.
Now I speak
With a cut in my voice,
Raised in noise—
But I made the choice.

(New Hook – Slam Close)
Cold slab—
But I walk past.
Dead don’t flinch
When the living crash.
Still broke,
Still on the edge—
But I carved my name
In the fuckin’ ledge.

(Outro – Spoken, low)
Still walkin’.
Still debt.
Still breathin’
On someone’s bet.
Still cold.
Still cracked.
But I’m not
Lookin’ back.
