Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Myranda’s been awake since the dark Counting cracks in the ceiling like stars The day she lost her job still echoes In the drawer with unpaid letters and hope notes Coffee rings on a wooden nightstand Promises she never quite planned They said, “It’s temporary, you’ll be fine” But time feels cruel when it won’t rewind Pre-Chorus The house hums low like it knows her name Every clock ticks out her shame She swore she’d rise with the sun today But the bed begged her to stay Chorus So she bed rots, soft as a secret Sheets like snow she’s buried in it The world moves loud, she moves slow Learning how to let go Yeah she bed rots, ghosts in her head Old versions of who she said she’d be instead Lost her job, lost her way This is where Myranda stays Verse 2 Phone lights up but she won’t look Every message feels like a hook Friends say “rest,” but rest feels thin When you don’t know where you fit back in Her mirror knows she’s trying her best Even when she never gets dressed She’s not lazy, she’s just worn From carrying futures that never were born Pre-Chorus She whispers plans she’s scared to say Like they’ll leave if she gives them shape So she hides them under covers deep Where heartbreak goes to sleep Chorus So she bed rots, breathing slow Letting the ache come and go Midnight knows her by heart Every thought tears her apart Yeah she bed rots, counting years Of almosts, maybes, quiet fears Lost her job, lost her flame This is where Myranda stays Bridge (folklore hush) Maybe healing looks like staying still Maybe strength don’t always feel like will Maybe rock bottom’s not the end Just the place where you stop pretending And someday she’ll laugh at this room The way you laugh at old wounds But tonight the hurt gets to stay She doesn’t have to be brave Final Chorus So she bed rots, but she survives Another night, another life The moon keeps watch, the sky doesn’t judge She’s learning how to be enough
