3:17 AM

[Verse 1] The ceiling fan is tracing circles in the dark I’m counting heartbeats just to find a spark The city’s breathless, held in a velvet grip While silent static starts to softly slip Across the floorboards, cold beneath my feet I’m the only ghost left on this hollow street. [Verse 2] The neon sign is flickering a fractured blue It paints the shadows where I’m hiding from the view Of who I was when the sun was burning high Now I’m just a witness to a starless sky My phone is dead, the world is miles away I’m trading promises for words I’ll never say. [Chorus] It’s 3:17 AM and I’m wide awake Watching the silence begin to break Caught in the rhythm of a restless mind Leaving the wreckage of the day behind It’s just me, the echoes, and the hum of the night Finding my truth in the low-burning light. [Verse 3] I trace the lines upon my palms like maps To places I went through all the nervous gaps Of who I’m becoming when nobody sees I’m untangling knots, I’m bringing myself to my knees Not in surrender, but in a quiet grace Finally looking at my own reflection’s face. [Chorus] It’s 3:17 AM and I’m wide awake Watching the silence begin to break Caught in the rhythm of a restless mind Leaving the wreckage of the day behind It’s just me, the echoes, and the hum of the night Finding my truth in the low-burning light. [Bridge] Time doesn’t move, it just folds in on itself Like a dusty book left on a forgotten shelf I’m not lonely, I’m just waiting for the dawn To tell me where all of my armor has gone I’m stripped to the bone, but I’m finally clear There’s nothing left here for me to fear. [Outro] 3:17 AM... The world is still sleeping. I’m still here. Just me. Just thoughts. Fading into the grey. 3:17...
