Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Coolly putting stamps on graves

names lined up like unpaid debts

I read each stone like a failed exam

all the questions I never addressed

Got ghosts that remember my posture

how I laughed when I should’ve broke

how I shrugged off shaking hands

when the room was filling with smoke

Now they ride in the rearview mirrors

chin on my shoulder at red lights

ask me, "You proud of the monster?"

while I stare straight ahead, too tight

Yeah, I walk past the wilted flowers

like I'm checking a box, not a heart

I was raised to outrun the thunder

then found out the storm’s in the dark

[Chorus]

I feel it in the air tonight

every grudge I tried to bury still fights

all these ghosts I keep inviting inside

sit me down in my own dread

I feel it in the air tonight

all the words I never spoke take flight

every step I take through terror feels right

when I’m marching with the dead

[Verse 2]

I talk to the stones like they’re listening

pour out blame like cheap wine

say, "You made me cold, you made me cruel"

they stay quiet every time

Truth is, I forged my own shackles

polished that iron till it shined

wore my damage like a diamond chain

said, "I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine"

I was busy being bitter, not better

sharp tongue, soft spine, hard eyes

every promise I tossed in the gutter

grew teeth and came back in disguise

Now fear ain’t a wall, it’s a hallway

I stride through the shaking floor

if the past wants a piece of my pulse

it can meet me at the door (come on)

[Chorus]

I feel it in the air tonight

every grudge I tried to bury still fights

all these ghosts I keep inviting inside

sit me down in my own dread

I feel it in the air tonight

all the lies I told myself turn bright

every step I take through terror feels right

when I’m marching with the dead

[Bridge]

Cool hands, hot rage (yeah)

ink smears on the page

every stamp another cage

but I walk through it

Cool breath, locked jaw

I’ve been guilty of it all

still I answer when they call

and I talk through it (talk through it)

[Chorus]

I feel it in the air tonight

every grudge I tried to bury still fights

all these ghosts I keep inviting inside

sit me down in my own dread

I feel it in the air tonight

if redemption ever comes, it bites

so I stride through fear, through the shattered light

with these stamps on graves in my head

Prompt

Rap deep and resentful. Cooley putting stamps on graves and visiting ghosts from the past, striding through fear. Insert vibe like “in the air tonight” song
