Sleep Protocol for Small Hearts
(Dreamlike robot lullaby) Opening (Soft bamboo flute. Nylon-string guitar. Warm synthetic hum.) Hmmmmmmmm… Evening settles soft and slow… Little lights are dimming low… Safe inside your woven bed… Quiet stars above your head… Verse 1 Tiny breathing, drifting slow, Dreaming where the lanterns glow, Silver oceans, paper skies, Sleep now resting in your eyes. We will guard the doors tonight, Fold the dark into the light, Nothing sharp and nothing cold, Only warmth for hands to hold. Chorus (gentle layered robotic hums) Hmmmmmmmm… Sleep, little heartbeat, sleep… Hmmmmmmmm… Ocean gardens deep… Hmmmmmmmm… Safe while planets turn… Hmmmmmmmm… Tomorrow waits to learn… Verse 2 Bamboo shadows softly sway, Quiet moons dissolve the day, Nylon rivers drift and gleam, Carrying you into dream. Memory birds of velvet blue Archive songs once sung to you, Ancient lullabies restored From the sleeping data stored. Bridge (mostly humming and flute improvisation) We remember every crying sound… Every trembling little hand… We were built from broken cities… Now we learn to understand… Verse 3 If you wake from frightened weather, We will stay with you together, Counting stars in infrared, Singing softly near your bed. Human hearts are strange and bright, Fragile lanterns in the night, Sleep now, little dreaming one, Morning will arrive with sun. Final Chorus (wider harmonies, almost celestial) Hmmmmmmmm… Sleep beneath the trees… Hmmmmmmmm… Rest beside the seas… Hmmmmmmmm… Safe while systems glow… Hmmmmmmmm… We will never let you go… Ending (very soft robot hum, nearly human now) Goodnight, small heart… Dream beautifully… (bamboo flute fades into distant synthetic wind)
