[Verse 1]
Amanda in the ICU
Late shift, red eyes, cold brew
Clock stuck at 2:22
Names on the board turning see-through
White walls, bleach and steel
Blood on her shoes she can’t unfeel
"Room five’s coding"
Hands still shaking, but she’s going in
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "Breathe" to a silent chest
Angels lined up in latex and vests
Fluorescent halos buzz overhead
Every patient, one step from the dead
[Chorus]
I’m the nurse in your afterlife
Call my name when you flatline
You don’t leave, you just change sides
ICU Amanda, I decide
All your tears in the hospital night
Turn to waves when the monitors die
You don’t sleep, you just close your eyes
ICU Amanda, I decide
[Drop]
[crescendo]
Blood rain on the white tile floor (floor)
Gothic ghosts in the waiting ward (ward)
Bass hits like a crash cart roar (roar)
Trap drums pounding at the morgue door
[Verse 2]
Family crying by the swing doors
Hearts on sleeves, knees on the floor
Clipboard shaking in her hand
"Time of death" she can barely stand
Every wristband, every code blue
Stains her scrubs in a deeper hue
Whispers follow down the hall
"She’s the one who answers when you fall"
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "Stay" but the soul drifts out
Overhead, thunder instead of clouds
Sirens hum like a funeral choir
Every beep one match to the pyre
[Chorus]
I’m the nurse in your afterlife
Call my name when you flatline
You don’t leave, you just change sides
ICU Amanda, I decide
All your tears in the hospital night
Turn to waves when the monitors die
You don’t sleep, you just close your eyes
ICU Amanda, I decide
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I count the dead instead of sheep
I see the ones you never keep
I hold your hand till the colors leak
Into the dark where the lost ones speak
[whispered vocals]
"Code black" in my throat
Every promise caught, every hope chokes
If you hate me, scream my name
I’m the last one you blame
[Chorus]
