[Verse 1]
Blue flash on my bedroom walls
You call
I’m already halfway gone
Trauma-bonded by the waiting room glow
Trading scars like cigarettes at dawn
Dark jokes in the triage line
Laugh till the panic thins
You hold my wrist
Count my pulse
Like you’re checking if I’m still in
[Chorus]
You’re my siren in a medicated sky
Screaming through the quiet when I flatline
All my red alerts
You read them like a chart
Emergency love in a runaway heart
If normal is a pill and we’re both trying to swallow
I’ll chase your broken halo through the hollow
[Verse 2]
Therapist clock ticks
We stall
“I’m fine” is the cheapest lie
You say
“Make it sound like a joke
Or I’ll start to cry”
We play tag with our anxiety
Hide and seek in the dark of our minds
But your hand finds mine in the blackout
Compassion in the worst kind of times
[Chorus]
You’re my siren in a medicated sky
Screaming through the quiet when I flatline
All my red alerts
You read them like a chart
Emergency love in a runaway heart
If normal is a pill and we’re both trying to swallow
I’ll chase your broken halo through the hollow
[Bridge]
Under the night sky parking lot light
We rate our pain on a one-to-ten
You say
“Same time
Same fear next week?”
I say
“Yeah
Book me in again” (hey!)
We’re laughing at the crash
While we pull each other clear
If this is how we heal
Then bleed with me right here
[Chorus]
You’re my siren in a medicated sky
Screaming through the quiet when I flatline
All my red alerts
You read them like a chart
Emergency love in a runaway heart
If normal is a pill and we’re both trying to swallow
Then you and I are proof the broken can be hollowed
And filled with something fierce enough to follow
