Lyrics
It's 418 AM
My hands are shaking so bad
I don't think I can do this
14 hours on concrete, coffee tastes like chalk I'm hiding in the storage
room, listening to people talk
Scorched green fiberglass sitting in my lap
One tiny jumper wire to bridge a four -inch gap
The NICU needs this unit before the 6 a .m. arrival
And I'm sitting on the floor, doubting my survival
Look at my phone screen, cracked in the corner
Treating this circuit like a broken little martyr what if i burn the trace
what if i let them down what if i'm just a kid pretending in this sterile town
take a breath pick
up the iron and i never met your soldier with my heart on my sleeve but there
is no room for failure when
When you refuse to leave
Watch the rose and smoke drip
To the fluorescent ceiling
Turn in fraction copper into breathing and healing I am not an
imposter
I am holding the line
And this piece of broken steel
Is gonna shine
The solder flowed silver
The joints sat down clean
No bridges, no cold spots
Purest trace I've seen I ran through the
hallway
Clicked the chassis in place
Looked through the acrylic
Had an empty little space
The heater clicked on
The digital readout said 37 .0
We haven't lost yet
The baby arrived at dawn
Wrapped in a blanket
As small as my hand
Placed in the warmth of the board that I mended
And suddenly
All this self -doubt ended
And I never meant to solder with my heart on my sleeve
But there is no room for failure when you refuse to leave
Watch the rose and smoke drift to the fluorescent ceiling
Turning back your copper into breathing and healing
I am not an impostor, I am holding the light
And this piece of broken steel
Is gonna shake
I've been low here
Shift is over
Go home
