Intro (PA whisper) Stand clear of the levers. Breathe between the clicks. Verse 1 Red bulbs humming, labels peeling off, Coffee ring halos on a metal top. Every warning sticker learned my name, Every meter twitching like a living vein. Nightshift heartbeat, steady in my hands, I turn the fear down till the quiet stands. Pre-Chorus I know the panic loves a switch, A sudden flood, a blackout glitch— But I’ve been counting every fuse, I choose the circuit I’ll refuse. Chorus All these breakers in my ribs— I decide what lives, I decide what lives. Dim the dread, let the mercy give— I decide what lives, I decide what lives. If the sirens beg and the shadows hiss, All these breakers in my ribs— I decide what lives. Verse 2 Static in the headset, ghosts on the line, “Pull it all,” they whisper, “kill the shine.” But pulse by pulse I hold the frame, Let the soft come through without the flame. It’s not surrender, it’s design— A thousand tiny choices keeping time. Pre-Chorus I know the drama wants the flood, To call it fate and call it blood— But there’s a middle, clean and bright, A slider set to living light. Chorus All these breakers in my ribs— I decide what lives, I decide what lives. Dim the dread, let the mercy give— I decide what lives, I decide what lives. When the voices press and the doubts insist, All these breakers in my ribs— I decide what lives. Bridge (Drop to heartbeat) Hand on the master, I count to four, Bring back the room like a slow-breathed door. No hero noise, no flashing proof— Just steady hands on a truthful roof. If something burns, let it be the shroud, Leave the core intact, unbowed. Chorus (Final—bigger, then cut to a whisper) All these breakers in my ribs— I decide what lives, I decide what lives. Turn up grace, pull down the myth— I decide what lives, I decide what lives. (whisper) If the night leans in with a fatal kiss… All these breakers in my ribs— I decide what lives. Tag Click by click, the daylight gives— I decide what lives.
