Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your hard hat in the hallway Still hanging on that nail Your name tag on the counter Coffee stain Unpaid bill They said it was an accident "These things just happen sometimes" But the word "sometimes" feels like thunder Rolling through my spine [Chorus] Now every morning feels like falling I flinch at how the kettle screams I see the headlines in my heartbeat I taste sirens in my sleep I'm scared the sky could crack and take me Scared the ground might disappear But if I stop living Brother Then I leave you here So I'll drag this shaking body Through another year [Verse 2] I count my breaths in crosswalks Watch the light like it’s a test I memorize the exits Map escape routes in my chest I laugh too loud at parties So they won't hear my teeth Chatter at the thought of How fast a life can leave [Chorus] 'Cause every hallway feels like warning Every suitcase feels like last I hear the echo of your steel-toes In the ticking of the glass I'm scared the sky could crack and take me Scared the ground might disappear But if I stop living Brother Then I leave you here So I'll drag this shaking body Through another year [Bridge] I talk to you in traffic (you'd hate my driving) I lay your jacket on my chair I light a candle in the kitchen Let the wax drip like a prayer Then I feel you in the silence In the soft click of the door A whisper in my rib cage "Little sis Want more" [Chorus] So I'll let the morning light come find me Let the pavement feel my feet Book the trip you always promised Taste the salt The foreign streets Yeah The sky could crack and take me Yeah The ground might disappear But if I keep living Brother Then I keep you near Every step I take in terror Is a step you're walking here [Outro] Your hard hat in the hallway I leave it where it stays I carry you in stories As I walk into the day

rock, Emotional rock ballad with female vocals; clean electric arpeggios and intimate piano in the verses, then wide distorted guitars and tom-heavy drums lifting the choruses. Subtle string pads bloom under the bridge for extra ache. Vocal starts fragile and close-mic’d, then climbs into a gritty, belted hook with stacked harmonies and a soaring final chorus that ends on a held note and long reverb tail., female vocals, ballad
