[Intro, Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, Low ambient hum] [Verse 1, Quiet sorrow] White sheets and a hospital glow Drip in her arm, moving too slow Eyes like glass, voice a ghost She held nothing, but she held close One breath short of a name One heartbeat lost in shame Nurses whispered down the hall As she stared at nothing at all [Chorus, Haunting melody] Silent cradle, empty sound Tiny heartbeat never found She was high, she was numb When the moment wouldn't come Her hands shook but she felt no pain Eyes dry like the fall of rain Crushed beneath what could’ve been A love unlived, a silent sin [Verse 2, Melancholy build] Morphine dreams and static light Blurred the wrong and blurred the right Said she’d name her if she lived But the world had none to give Letters she’ll never send To a child she couldn’t defend Felt the weight in every breath A lullaby cut short by death [Pre-Chorus, Fragile tone] Time don’t heal what never breathed Grief wears chains beneath the wreath She walks through years with hollow steps Haunted by what she regrets [Chorus, Slight crescendo] Silent cradle, empty sound Tiny heartbeat never found She was high, she was numb When the moment wouldn't come She’d pray if she still believed But there’s nothing left to receive No gods, no light, just ash and flame Just a mother with no name [Bridge, Desolate instrumental swell] Blood on the bed, no name for the pain Rain fell soft on the windowpane Did she choose, or was she lost? Either way, it paid the cost Scars run deep where no one sees Truth wrapped up in memories [Break, Whispered backing vocals] (Hush now... hush now...) (The world didn’t wait for you...) [Chorus, Final - stripped bare, vocal cracks] Silent cradle, empty sound Tiny heartbeat never found She was high, she was numb When the moment wouldn’t come A soul adrift with nowhere to land A life unlived by no one’s hand Silent cradle... empty sound... She still hears it... all around... [Outro, Fading guitar harmonics] No cries... No lullabies... Just silence... And goodbye...
