Lyrics [Opening] (20 seconds — breathing only. No instruments.) [Verse 1 – Nervous System] Stay awake… Don’t slow down… Something’s coming… Not yet… Keep your eyes open… Keep your guard up… I’m trying… To keep you safe… ⸻ [Instrumental] (Bass enters. Piano answers. No drums.) ⸻ [Verse 2 – You] I know… I hear you… Thank you… You’ve carried me Through every storm You’ve kept me standing For all these years But look around… Nothing’s chasing us ⸻ [Build] (Soft brushed drums begin. Breathing becomes steadier.) One breath… Then another… One breath… Then another… ⸻ [Bridge – Nervous System] Are you sure? What if… What if… What if… ⸻ [Silence] (Everything drops out except one inhale and one exhale.) ⸻ [Response – You] We’re here. We’re safe. You can rest now. I’ll take it from here. ⸻ [Instrumental] (Bass clarinet, piano and female “Ah” vocal. No lyrics.) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Nothing is wrong Nothing is broken This isn’t danger It’s only a memory Thank you For protecting me You don’t have to Carry this alone We’re safe now… We’re home. ⸻ [Outro] (Piano only. One final breath.) We’re okay
