Drowning In Dots
rap, Cinematic hip hop with rugged drums, warm bass, and a bluesy harmonica weaving around a tense string quartet, Verses stay tight and percussive, violin doing sharp stabs and tremolo under the flow, Chorus opens wide with harmonica hooks, stacked chant vocals, and big, echoing snares, Final section adds subtle choir pads and layered strings for a triumphant, lifted ending, Male vocals, hip hop, violin

[Intro] Harmonica cryin’ Violin on the edge Ink on my fingers Head full of threads [Verse 1] Dot on a homework page Teacher say “wrong,” I just stare Dot on a ceiling crack Mapping my escape up there Dot on a cheap wall map World too big for this chair Every little speck on the floor Looked like a door to somewhere Dot on the clock at midnight Red eye stuck at twelve Dot on the screen, new message I leave it on the shelf Family photos, pixel grain Dots in the faces I held Thought it was random static Didn’t know it was a spell [Chorus] I was drownin’ in dots Tiny pieces, heavy on my chest Couldn’t see what they were Just the weight, not the sense Then they all lit up Like a skyline in my head Every dot drew a line And the lines brought me back from the dead [Verse 2] Dot for the bills I missed Dot for the nights I lied Dot for the pills I counted Shakin’ hands, dry eyes Dot on the hospital monitor Green pulse, thin bright light Heard it beep in a broken rhythm Like it couldn’t find the right line Cold floor, black spots in my vision Thought, “maybe this is my map” Every bad choice like a pin Stickin’ out of my past Violin scratch like a warning Harmonica bends like it’s mad Beats hit hard in my ribs Heart answered back with a clap [Chorus] I was drownin’ in dots Tiny pieces, heavy on my chest Couldn’t see what they were Just the weight, not the sense Then they all lit up Like a skyline in my head Every dot drew a line And the lines brought me back from the dead [Bridge] [low vocal register] Dots in my journal Dates I wished I could erase Dots on the doorframe How tall I grew from that place Dots on a graph They called me a lost case But connect ‘em in order You can trace how I outran the grave [Chorus] [Outro] [guitar solo with harmonica answering] Violin climbs slow From the gutter to the glow Every dot, every hit, every “no” Was a star in disguise Now the sky finally shows I was drownin’ in dots Now I draw my own road
