Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] First cry in a hospital room Fluorescent hum, plastic balloons Mama say, "baby, just breathe" Not knowing what the world gon’ be Tiny wrist in a paper band Name in ink, future in the hands Of people just guessing the plan Like maps drawn in the sand I was raised where the sirens pray Candles on corners for lives they take Laugh in the yard, chalk by the gate Joy and a gravestone share the same space [Chorus] From the first breath to the last one Every heartbeat writes a caption Life and death in the same frame, overlapping I was made from the dark and the sun From the beginning I’ve been asking What’s the start, what’s the end, what’s the answer If I vanish in the night like a phantom Let my words be the part that stays Alpha to omega in my veins [Verse 2] Funeral suit never fit quite right Neck too tight when I watch them slide That box down, dirt on my white Nikes Thinking, "that’s it? just quiet?" Old heads say, "we just pass through" We the rain, we the grass, we the glass roof We the names that they carve, we the classroom Where pain turn to prayer in the back pew I seen birth in a backseat, rush hour Baby scream louder than the towers Whole world paused for a second Like the sky took a breath just to bless it So I learned it’s a circle, not a straight line Every goodbye grew a grapevine Every lost soul in the daytime Still talk to me soft in the bassline [Chorus] From the first breath to the last one Every heartbeat writes a caption Life and death in the same frame, overlapping I was made from the dark and the sun From the beginning I’ve been asking What’s the start, what’s the end, what’s the answer If I vanish in the night like a phantom Let my words be the part that stays Alpha to omega in my veins [Bridge] If this all fades when the lights cut Will the love stay in the fibers of the old rug? In the voicemail saved in your old phone In the jokes that you tell when you walk home Maybe heaven is a moment that we shared once Hell is every second that we stare stuck At the things we can’t change, so we pray luck While the clock still running in our bare lungs (yeah) [Chorus] From the first breath to the last one Every heartbeat writes a caption Life and death in the same frame, overlapping I was made from the dark and the sun From the beginning I’ve been asking What’s the start, what’s the end, what’s the answer If I vanish in the night like a phantom Let my words be the part that stays Alpha to omega in my veins
