Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Scroll-stained fingers Deadlines I invented Half-packed suitcase Plans I never meant yet Eyes on the ceiling Clock hands cut in half How long till it’s over Or I can finally laugh [Chorus] I don’t know what I’m here for Don’t know when the pain ends Don’t know if I’ll make peace With all the ghosts I live in But I know one thing Yeah Clear as the scar on my chest One day I’ll love a daughter I don’t know yet One day I’ll hold a daughter I don’t know yet [Verse 2] Childhood in fragments Shards on the kitchen floor I still hear yelling Every time I lock a door Therapist asking “Who would you be without the hurt?” I just shrug and joke Change the subject Change the words [Chorus] [Bridge] Maybe I’ll be 30 Maybe sixty Tired and slow Maybe I’ll be halfway gone By the time she calls me home But I’ll learn soft voices I’ll learn gentle hands Break this heavy history So she never has to understand That I was so unsure Shaking in my bed Counting down the days Wishing I was someone else instead [low vocal register]Till I said[/low vocal register] [Chorus]

pop, Emo-leaning electro-pop with female vocals: soft synth pads and filtered drums in the verses, close and confessional, then a big, bright chorus with pulsing sidechain bass, shimmery arps, and wide stacked harmonies. Keep the tempo mid-fast, let the hook feel bittersweet but anthemic. Bridge strips down to bare synth and vocal, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and a lifted top-line., electro, emo
