Waiting On A Sign (For Lisa)
rap, Moody melodic hip-hop with female vocals; half-sung, half-rapped verses over sparse piano stabs and warm sub-bass, rimshot groove and airy pads. Choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a simple chant-like hook, kick and snare hit harder, then drop back for intimate, almost a cappella lines. Occasional distant vocal chops and filtered reverb tails to feel like messages from beyond., hip-hop, female vocals

Lyrics
Verse 1
Bridget on the edge of the mattress
Scrolling through old photos in the dark
Dust on the frame, name on the necklace
Talking to a room like it got heart
Ceiling got cracks like questions
Eyes on the fan, it just spins
“Mom, if you’re there, send something”
Whispers to the silence, leans in
Chorus
I’m in my bedroom waiting on a sign
Saying, “Lisa, can you cross that line?”
Every shadow on the wall, every flicker of the light
Could that be you telling me it’s alright?
I’m in my bedroom calling out your name
Hoping that you hear me through the flame
If you’re in the sky, can you touch this night?
Mama, send a sign, tell me I’ll be fine
Verse 2
Air feels heavy in the corner
Phone on the desk won’t ring
Letter you wrote in the drawer
I read it ‘til the words all sting
Clock hands loud like footsteps
Heartbeats louder than both
“Ma, I’m scared I’ll forget you”
Says it like a promise, like an oath
Chorus
I’m in my bedroom waiting on a sign
Saying, “Lisa, can you cross that line?”
Every shadow on the wall, every flicker of the light
Could that be you telling me it’s alright?
I’m in my bedroom calling out your name
Hoping that you hear me through the flame
If you’re in the sky, can you touch this night?
Mama, send a sign, tell me I’ll be fine
Bridge
If the curtain moves, is that you? (is that you?)
If a cool wind slides right through (right through)
If my name shows up in a dream
Is that you still holding me?
Chorus
I’m in my bedroom waiting on a sign
Saying, “Lisa, can you cross that line?”
Every shadow on the wall, every flicker of the light
Could that be you telling me it’s alright?
I’m in my bedroom calling out your name
Hoping that you hear me through the flame
If you’re in the sky, can you touch this night?
Mama, send a sign, tell me I’ll be fine
