Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots by the door Coffee gone cold again Helmet on the counter Like a ghost of where I've been Trauma in my turnout Soaked into every seam I crack jokes in the kitchen Just to hold back what I've seen [Chorus] In the darkness I remember Every face Every name Racing into every emergency And I never walk out the same I stitch my heart with black humor But it still comes undone In the middle of the smoke and the sirens I’m just looking Looking for love from someone [Verse 2] We laugh in the locker room Louder than the rain Hide the haunted look Behind some story Some nickname But when the night gets quiet And the pager’s finally still I feel the weight of all those moments That I thought I’d learned to kill [Chorus] In the darkness I remember Every face Every name Racing into every emergency And I never walk out the same I stitch my heart with black humor But it still comes undone In the middle of the smoke and the sirens I’m just looking Looking for love from someone [Bridge] Can I say that I’m not okay? (hey) Can I lay this armor down? If I bring you all this broken Will you stay when I fall down? [Chorus] In the darkness Please remember I’m a person Not a flame Running headfirst into emergency Doesn’t mean I feel no pain I hold my fear with hard humor But I’m tired of being tough Underneath this heavy jacket There’s a heart here That still believes in love

Midtempo modern rock with male vocals, clean electric guitars over steady drums. Intimate, almost spoken verses with dry vocal; chorus blooms with wide harmonies and overdriven guitars. Subtle piano doubles key phrases, tom-heavy bridge that pulls back before a final, soaring hook focused on resilience and vulnerable strength.
