Shutdown

Intro – (soft instrumental, faint heart monitor tone, no lyrics)]

(A single note fades in and out like breath…)

---

Feel the static in my chest,

It’s colder than the rest,

Fingers start to lose their hold,

I’m sinking slow into the fold.

My lungs are begging for the air,

But every breath feels half-aware,

The lights above me start to bloom,

Like flowers in an empty room.

---

Heartbeat slowing down,

The silence feels so loud,

I think I see your face somehow,

Right before I fade out.

---

I can feel my body letting go,

One by one, I fade slow,

Colors bleed into the snow,

And I just…

Can’t hold on anymore.

Numb inside my trembling skin,

Hear the thunder from within,

If this is peace, then let it in,

Don’t wake me up again.

---

My hands don’t listen when I plead,

They fall like leaves that lost their green,

I see your tears, I feel your scream,

But it’s all moving through a dream.

My heart’s a drum with broken time,

Skipping beats that used to rhyme,

And if the light becomes divine,

Promise me you’ll still be mine.

---

Every sound turns to static,

Every thought turns cinematic,

I remember you laughing,

Then nothing—

Just the blackness.

---

I can feel my body letting go,

One by one, I fade slow,

Colors bleed into the snow,

And I just…

Can’t hold on anymore.

Numb inside my trembling skin,

Hear the thunder from within,

If this is peace, then let it in,

Don’t wake me up again.
