Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] The sirens don’t sing They scream Red on brick Red in the rain You’re in the back Gloves half on Someone’s father Someone’s child Their chest A wet paper bag Rising Then not Time shrinks to inches Your knees on metal Your hands on bone Your breath in their breath [Chorus] Stay with me Breathe I don’t care who you were I care that you are You are not a body yet You are a story Stuttering On the edge of a word I’m here for the part Where you don’t give up So don’t Give up on me [Verse 2] Adult Baby Stranger with shaking eyes Kid with a cartoon shirt Doesn’t matter Fear looks the same Wide pupils Dry mouth You count One and two and three and four Ribs complain Skin sweats under latex You are tired They are dying Both of you Out of time And still You press You push the dark back One inch at a time [Chorus] Stay with me Breathe I don’t care who you were I care that you are You are not a body yet You are a question Hanging In the swing of my hands I’m here for the part Where we drag you back So don’t You don’t leave yet Stay with me Breathe I’ll be the rhythm You be the will to return
