Oh Darling, My Darling

[Intro] Oh darling My darling Scalpel-sharp smiling White coat Red cuffs Clipboard full of bluffs [Verse 1] She drew a door on the tiled wall Chalk in her fist like a threat Not a tool Laughed as the IVs tried to pull her back “These little lines never tell me what to do” Steam from the vents Whispering Latin Charts in a language she never was given “See how I’ve risen ” she hummed to the ceiling As gravity begged her to listen [Chorus] BREAKING NEWS: this just in She cut through the page she was written in Oh darling My darling Look what you made You stitched an empire out of my pain Dead weight That’s what I’ll call you If you don’t mind If you don’t move BREAKING NEWS: I slipped the skin I rewrote the rules from the inside in (ha) [Verse 2] She bottled time in a bedside vial Shook it once Watched the heartbeat stutter Patients on loop like a hallway spiral Every step echoing over each other She signed her name in the air It stayed Burned in Bright as a hospital grade “God is a job they forgot to fill So I clocked in early Then bent the will” [Chorus] BREAKING NEWS: this just in She cut through the page she was written in Oh darling My darling Bow when you pray You’re worshipping me when you curse my name Dead weight That’s what I’ll call you All your laws All your loose truths BREAKING NEWS: I own the spin I pull the strings I prescribe the sin (oh) [Bridge] Monitors flatline Then start laughing Ceilings melt into cathedral patterns She walks the air like a waiting room floor Opens her wrist There’s a revolving door [Voices on the radio alternate from left to right] “Admit it ” she grins “you love the suspense You tune in daily to watch me ascend” Her shadow signs off with a surgeon’s grin “This world was a trial run I’m on my way in”
