† SINISTER PUBLICATIONS†

[Verse 1]
I’m riding the wave
Thinking of ways
To get out
Momma always said
Don’t fall for lies, don’t wonder why
Just live through life
And don’t be late

[Chorus]
I’ve been floating, fading
But I stayed in
Didn’t want to break her heart
Now the tide’s high, stars low
And I finally know
That maybe I played my part

[Verse 2]
So when you find out the why
Don’t ask me how
I just moved on through
And stuck to mine
Didn’t wait for a sign
I walked the line
No map, just heart
And borrowed time

[Bridge – slow & ghostly]
She said “you’re stronger than this”
But I smiled through the mist
The silence felt warm
For once, I didn’t resist

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Now I ride the wave, eyes closed tight
Driftin’ slow, into the night
Tell her I lived, but couldn’t stay
Momma said “don’t be late”
And I’m on my way

(instrumental fade — no more vocals, just a looped guitar line and low heartbeat bass fading out) Look up at the sky and implode.
