Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Fluorescent ceiling Rolling down a hallway, too bright, too fast Hands shake, breathing Name on the wristband, paper band cast Cold air, questions “Can you feel this?” voices blur and bend Gown tied, trembling Trying to joke with the anesthetist friend [Pre-Chorus] Blue drape on my chest I can’t see my own skin All I’ve got left Is this whispering spin Of “you’re okay, you’re okay” But I’m split open, afraid [Chorus] I’m counting lights on the ceiling As they cut right through me Seven layers, I’m open But I’m still me If I break, if I bleed Let it be for you tonight On this table, torn and shaking All I want is your first cry [Verse 2] Tugging pressure Someone says “you’ll feel a little pull” Metal, cotton Smell of something burning, head gets full Clock ticks louder Tears slip sideways into my hair You say, “you’re doing great” I say, “tell me when you’re there” [Pre-Chorus] Blue drape like an ocean I’m afraid of the deep Thoughts rush, body frozen Can’t move my own feet So I pray in my head Every fear I’ve never said [Chorus] I’m counting lights on the ceiling As they cut right through me Seven layers, I’m open But I’m still me If I break, if I bleed Let it be for you tonight On this table, torn and shaking All I want is your first cry [Bridge] Will you hate this story Of how you came to me All the hidden glory In every quiet scream If this is how I’m remade Let my scars spell your name [Chorus] I’m counting lights on the ceiling As they stitch right through me Seven layers, I’m broken But you found me I heard you, I heard you Tiny thunder in the night On this table, cut and crying You were worth that first cold cry (oh) You were worth that first cold cry

Vocal sits close and breathy at first, then builds into a soaring hook with stacked harmonies. Subtle synth arps and distant vocal chops shimmer in the background; bridge strips back to piano and heartbeat kick before a final, uplifting chorus., deep
