Ghosting

My Remedy

Short and snappy lyrics, light rap with a slamming energy, delivering freedom.

Maybe a Maren Morris style.

Acoustic guitar and harmonies start the verse, building into a heavy drum beat for the chorus.

Vocals are forceful (punchy)on lines 1,3,5,7 with a long, drawn and haunting hollowness for the 2,4,6th and last line.

**

VERSE ONE:

A burning cigarette hangs from your lips

Still, nooooo where close to your toxic

You look at me with hands on your hips

Tryingggg to sell your logic

You’re throwing shade on my sunny day

Using AI for a pretty face

The first time was your last mistake

It’s my chance to make a getawayyyyy

And I’m ghosting…..yeah, I’m ghosting you

**

CHORUS:

Hey now, ya got me caught up in a fake out

Come on strong and then you fade out

Fill my head full of wanderlust and self doubt

**drums and guitar buildup **

I hate those words out of your mouth

Im safe now, I finally found my way out

Lost and Found in my hometown

Picked me up and let me down

Now, I’m breaking free, far from your shakedown

**

HOOK:

You’re sooooo selfish, selfish, selfish (echoing)

**

BRIDGE:

Such a smooth operator, Making me wish, that we’d never been together. You changed love, even faster than the weather, but I’m only getting better gonna leave ya on a supernova

**

CHORUS:

Hey now, ya got me caught up in a fake out

Come on strong and then you fade out

Fill my head full of wanderlust and self doubt

**drums and guitar buildup **

I hate those words out of your mouth

Im safe now, I finally found my way out

Lost and Found in my hometown

Picked me up and let me down

Now, I’m breaking free, far from your shakedown

**

VERSE TWO:

Hey baby, you’re gonna wanna sit down

It’s my turn to tell you how it goes now

I’ve had my fill, I’d like to say I had fun

But I won’t lie, it’s over baby, I’m done

**

CHORUS:

Hey now, ya got me caught up in a fake out

Come on strong and then you fade out

Fill my head full of wanderlust and self doubt

**drums and guitar buildup **

I hate those words out of your mouth

Im safe now, I finally found my way out

Lost and Found in my hometown

Picked me up and let me down

Now, I’m breaking free, far from your shakedown

**

OUTRO:

Maybe one day you’ll figure it out

And true love will open your eyes

But one day is too late for me now

I’ve already gone babe, I’m well on my way

**

Good boy daisy was the music I was listening to for inspiration. I hope you enjoy it

I had trouble downloading the video. I will add it soon. Gotta get this submitted

Thanks for reading

Some rambling to meet the word count.

**

every other weekend

like a blackbird taking flight

I find myself awaiting

for the time that you’ll arrive

shared between two houses

twice the family, twice the love

blended with new spouses

for a life that you deserve

they say that with the distance

hearts grow fonder

my love never changes

just in case you wondered

** One more. Unfinished

You’re planted under my skin

Like the veins of a flower

You end where I begin

Fully rooted in power

Pure poetry, set in motion

A functional, isometry

Individualized potion

Worshiped religiosity

A baptized devotion

Resurrected in beauty

Walking upon the ocean

Salty on my skin

In perfectly sized portions
