missions
Writing MISSIONS by Skarley (Verse 1) I still scroll your name sometimes Thumb stops like the world rewinds Like maybe if I press “call” hard enough You’ll answer half asleep, swear and laugh it off I miss dumb shit nobody sees Inside jokes and busted dreams Those late-night talks ’bout fixing life Like two drunk gods with no advice I miss hearing “you good?” for real Not that fake shit people feel Back when silence wasn’t loud Before ghosts started hanging round (Pre-Chorus) Now every room feels different Every memory hits strange And everybody says “time heals” But time just rearranged the pain (Chorus) I miss missions Miss talking reckless like we’d never die Miss laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe that night Now I stare at messages I’ll never send Voice in my head but nowhere to land I miss faces The little looks, the stupid sounds The way you made the dark slow down And after losing everybody one by one I think my heart got tired of coming undone Now I don’t even cry like I used to That’s the part that scares me most (Verse 2) People say “they’re still with you” But they ain’t sitting in this room They ain’t picking up at 2AM When the walls cave in again I miss who I was back then Before survival became my skin Before funerals felt routine Before numbness felt like peace And I hate how life keeps moving Like the loss should mean less now But grief ain’t linear, it’s sneaky It just waits till you’re alone somehow (Pre-Chorus) Sometimes I laugh and feel guilty Sometimes I feel nothing at all Sometimes I hear your voice so clear I turn around before the fall (Chorus) I miss missions Miss talking reckless like we’d never die Miss laughing so hard we couldn’t breathe that night Now I stare at messages I’ll never send Voice in my head but nowhere to land I miss faces The little looks, the stupid sounds The way you made the dark slow down And after losing everybody one by one I think my heart got tired of coming undone Now I don’t even cry like I used to That’s the part that scares me most (Rap Verse 3) Got a contact list full of disconnected destiny Dead-end memories still messaging the rest of me Read old texts like relics in a registry Tryna resurrect energy that left unexpectedly Now I got survivor’s guilt mixed with adrenaline Smile for the world while my insides are trembling Bottle every breakdown, bury every sentiment ’Til numbness got comfortable living in my skeleton And I can’t even lie — I miss the missions bad Miss the nights we were broke but still rich in laughs Kitchen floor conversations, all the midnight plans Now I’m talking to shadows with a drink in hand Everybody vanished in a flash, in a flicker One minute loud, next minute just a picture And the scary thing is I’m getting used to grief Like pain moved in and signed a fucking lease Still hear your phrases in the way I speak Still see your face when I don’t sleep for weeks Still got jokes nobody else would understand That’s the cruel part — the world keeps spinning, damn So I tongue-tie trauma in a tight rhyme rhythm Hide heartbreak inside high-speed syllables ’Cause if I slow down, really sit with the missing I might finally feel everything I’ve been skipping (Bridge) Maybe numbness is just grief With nowhere left to go Maybe after enough goodbyes Your body shuts the window But if I could hear you laugh again Just once through all this noise I swear to God I’d break apart And finally feel destroyed (Final Chorus) I miss missions Miss feeling safe inside the chaos too Miss having people I could still run to Now every memory cuts different when it ends ’Cause some doors close and never open again I miss people Not just the dead — the old me too The version that still believed we’d make it through And if heaven’s real, I hope somehow you know I still talk to you Even though the phone don’t ring no more (Outro) Some nights I swear I hear you laughing Like the universe glitched for a second And for one stupid little moment Everything feels normal again Then silence comes back And it’s louder than ever
