Shadows in the ER

[Verse] The clock keeps ticking but time feels frozen A cry in the hallway where love was chosen We patch the wounds but can't stop the breaking A soul departs while another's aching [Prechorus] The beeps fade out into a hollow hum We stand in silence when the end has come [Chorus] It hits us in our souls Tears we can’t control The weight of lives we couldn’t hold A mother’s scream a father’s stare The grief hangs heavy in the air [Verse 2] The stretcher rolls through the double doors A little hand we’ll hold no more We fight for breaths that never start A tiny heartbeat tears us apart [Prechorus] We’re trained to save but not to feel Yet every loss feels sharp and real [Chorus] It hits us in our souls Tears we can’t control The weight of lives we couldn’t hold A son A daughter Dreams undone The echoes linger when the fight is done
