Sirens in my veins (EMS)

(Monitor beeps)

Night shift halo, coffee steam on my face—let’s go.

Boots hit tile, gloves snap tight,

Map lights glow on a sleepless night.

City exhales, we catch that breath,

Kiss the crosswalk, dance with death.

Clipboard ink, heartline blue,

Radio whispers, “Unit two.”

Address ping—brownstone rain,

We stitch the thunder, tame the pain.

I hear the streets in 4/4 time,

Every turn a dotted line.

When hope is faint and voices shake,

We carry love like it won’t break.

We keep the heartbeat of the night, oh yeah,

Paint heaven on the asphalt with our lights, oh yeah.

If you’re falling, say my name through the static and the rain—

I’ll be there, sirens in my veins.

We keep the heartbeat of the night, oh yeah,

Hands steady while the world don’t feel right, oh yeah.

When you’re fading, say my name—through the chaos and the flames—

I’ll be there, sirens in my veins.

Twelve-lead down, inked lines confess,

Rhythm speaks truth under stress.

Adenosine comet, seconds stretch,

Time bends back like a silhouette.

Trauma shears kiss denim clean,

Dignity first—always seen.

Grandma’s hand in mine, soft prayer,

“Breathe with me”—I’m right there.

Station clock says 2:05,

We turn fatigue to keeping lives.

In the mirror, salt and steel,

Courage is a practiced skill.

We keep the heartbeat of the night, oh yeah,

Paint heaven on the asphalt with our lights, oh yeah.

If you’re falling, say my name through the static and the rain—

I’ll be there, sirens in my veins.

We keep the heartbeat of the night, oh yeah,

Hands steady while the world don’t feel right, oh yeah.

When you’re fading, say my name—through the chaos and the flames—

I’ll be there, sirens in my veins.

Call it faith or muscle memory—

Either way, we lift what can’t be carried.

All the stories that we never tell,

We write in pulse and perfused cells.

Hold the line, count the signs,

Trade our sleep to buy you time.

If forever starts at sunrise,

Let it find you still alive.

(Breathe—1, 2) stay with me now,

(Press—hold true) we’ll find a way out.

(Ride—don’t lose) I’m hearing you shout,

You’re not alone, not now.

We keep the heartbeat of the night, oh yeah,

Paint heaven on the asphalt with our lights, oh yeah.

If you’re falling, say my name through the static and the rain—

I’ll be there, sirens in my veins.

We keep the heartbeat of the night, oh yeah,

Hands steady while the world don’t feel right, oh yeah.

When you’re fading, say my name—through the chaos and the flames—

I’ll be there, sirens in my veins.

(Monitor slows, dawn hums low)

We hand the sunrise back—then go.
