Static Unit 12, respond priority one Of course they need me Sirens sing like lullabies Cutting through another lie “Worst day of their life,” they say It’s just another Tuesday Gloves on, mask up, dead inside Fake a pulse, but I’m alive They scream, they cry, they bleed, they beg I just nod and check the meds You swear this pain’s the end of you I’ve heard that line a time or two You’ll walk away, forget my name I’ll carry yours like it’s a stain I joke that I hate every face I see But silence hits harder when no one needs me I hate the sound of your heartbeat But I chase it in the night You’re everything I can’t stand But everything that keeps me alive Say you need me, say my name Tell me I’m the reason you stayed I hate the world that I’m saving But I’m nothing if I walk away Coffee shakes and hollow eyes Laugh it off or you’ll capsize Dark humor like armor plates Cover up the cracks and breaks “Frequent flyer,” roll my eyes Still show up every time Complain the whole damn ride But never leave your side You’ll never see the cost it takes Every soul I couldn’t save Every breath I couldn’t bring Still echoes when I try to sleep I say I don’t care if you live or die But I memorize every goodbye I hate the sound of your heartbeat But I chase it in the night You’re everything I can’t stand But everything that keeps me alive Say you need me, say my name Tell me I’m the reason you stayed I hate the world that I’m saving But I’m nothing if I walk away GO AHEAD—CALL ME HEARTLESS I’M JUST NUMB, NOT GODLESS EVERY JOKE IS A WARNING SIGN EVERY LAUGH IS A FLATLINE YOU NEED ME—SAY IT AGAIN TELL ME I’M MORE THAN THIS SKIN IF I’M NOT SAVING YOU TONIGHT THEN WHAT THE HELL IS SAVING ME? When the sirens fade to silence And the night comes crashing in It’s not the screams that haunt me It’s the emptiness within I don’t do this ‘cause I love you I don’t do this ‘cause I care I do this ‘cause without it There’s nothing left in here I hate the sound of your heartbeat But I need it just the same You’re everything I run from But everything that kills the pain Say you need me, say my name Tell me I’m the reason you stayed I hate the world that I’m saving But it’s the only thing that keeps me awake Unit 12… are you available …yeah… I’m here
