Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [soft ambient pad, distant hum like a refrigerator in the dark] 11:11 on a cracked phone screen. (mm) Guess I’ll try again. [Verse 1] Ceiling got constellations in the peeling paint, I trace ’em with my eyes like they owe me something. Bank account low, soul on minimum wage, Hope on backorder, heart still hunting. I don’t pray big no more, that’s expensive faith, Miracles feel like luxury brands. So I whisper small — just let me sleep, Just let tomorrow fit in my hands. Sheets cold, room blue with the TV glow, I bargain with the dark like it’s all I know. No grand escape, no shining fix, Just one good morning I can coexist with. [Pre-Chorus] I keep my wishes pocket-sized, Cheap enough to fantasize. Peace for a minute, strength for a day, Nothing too bright that it scares away. [Chorus] Nighttime wish on a dying star, (falling) Don’t need heaven, don’t need far. Just a little calm in my chest, Just enough breath to pass the test. I make it soft so it don’t break, Make it small so my heart don’t ache. But every time I close my eyes, It fades the second I exhale. [Verse 2] I used to want the whole skyline, Now I just want steady hands. Used to dream in gold and fire, Now I dream in “I think I can.” It’s quiet — almost kind tonight, Like the world forgot my name. There’s comfort in not expecting much, Nothing promised, nothing to blame. I wish for water in my head, Wish for silence in my veins. Wish I’d wake without that weight Sitting heavy on my frame. I don’t ask for love or luck, Those come with hidden fees. Just let me rise without the dread Clinging to my knees. [Bridge] [soft electronic arpeggio flickers under vocal] If hope’s a spark, mine’s barely lit, But it’s mine and I won’t quit. I cup it close so it won’t show, Like a secret only night can know. (mm) [Final Chorus] Nighttime wish on a dying star, Nothing grand, nothing bizarre. Just one good day I can survive, One soft reason to stay alive. I keep it quiet, keep it frail, Paper-thin and pale — And when I breathe it to the sky, It disappears… but I still try. [Outro] [pad fades into silence, faint inhale] 11:12. Maybe tomorrow. (mm)
