Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Fifteen years of learning how to hide While the storm was screaming loud inside. My sister’s twenty, but she’s paralyzed by fear My brother’s only two—he shouldn't be here. Mother’s in the corner, praying to a god who’s gone While he’s standing in the hallway with the cold steel drawn. I’m the middle shadow, the one who saw it all The one who stood between them and the final fall. [Pre-Chorus] I fought for every breath, I fought to keep us whole But the weight of all their lives began to swallow up my soul. I stepped onto the future, I tried to find the light But the barrel of his hunger is the only thing in sight. [Chorus] I’m the girl who saved them, the one who stood the ground But the only way to silence him is not to be around. I’ve fought a thousand battles just to see the sun But I’m tired of the trigger, I’m tired of the gun. If a life must be the payment for the ones I have to save Then I’ll be the one who’s missing, I’ll be the one who’s brave. [Verse 2] You chose him, Mother, and you brought the monster home You left me in the garden where the jagged spirits roam. I watched you choose his hands over my sister’s peace I watched you choose his chaos, hoping it would cease. Now I’m looking at the next day, and I’m looking at the door But I know that I can’t carry all this armor anymore. I’m fifteen and I’m ancient, I’m fifteen and I’m done I’m the mystery you’ll weep for when the war is finally won. [Bridge] (Music swells—heavy drums like heartbeats, then a sudden silence) Sister, take the baby. Mother, take the blame. I’m going to a place where he can’t say my name. I’m stepping off the edge so the rest of you can fly I’m the daughter who lived only so she could die. (Whispered) Don't show them I’m hurting... just let them go. [Chorus] I’m the girl who saved them, the one who stood the ground But the only way to silence him is not to be around. I’ve fought a thousand battles just to see the sun But I’m tired of the trigger, I’m tired of the gun. If a life must be the payment for the ones I have to save Then I’ll be the one who’s missing, I’ll be the one who’s brave. [Outro] (The sound of a single piano key, repeating like a fading pulse) Twenty-year-old sister, keep him safe for me. Two-year-old brother, grow up wild and free. Mother, you chose him... but I chose them. The battle is over. I’m finally... gone. (A long, hollow echo that fades into nothing)
