Create a post‑grunge/alternative rock ballad based on the provided lyrics. Mood: melancholic, nostalgic, bittersweet. Keep all the existing lines exactly as they are. Add a short outro (2–4 lines) that gives a quiet, resigned closure to the story. The vocal delivery should be raw and emotional, with a softer, almost whispered tone in the verses and a powerful, slightly distorted voice in the chorus. Instrumentation: electric guitar with moderate distortion, clean arpeggiated guitar in the bridge, understated bass and drums, subtle piano accents. Tempo: slow to mid‑tempo (around 80–90 BPM). Maintain the urban, nighttime atmosphere and the key metaphors (salt on a scar, smoke, fading fire, city lights).
