Stockholm Era // 03:17 Transmission // Recovered Fragment
Hospital Light
Drowning in the Absence of Your Soul's Blue Light // 2026
"Recovered from the collapse sessions."
"I don't remember when the nights started blending together…"
Verse 1
There's a vending machine glowing blue
At the end of the hallway
Coffee stains on folded paper cups
And morning dissolving into grey
Everybody here looks half-awake
Like ghosts waiting for weather to change
I watch the nurses move like shadows
Through the artificial rain
And my hands still shake without you
Even after all this time
So I bury myself in chemicals
Until the edges blur enough to survive
Pre-Chorus
The ceiling lights flicker softly
Like tired stars about to disappear
And every small machine beside me
Sounds like something trying to keep me here
Chorus
Under hospital light
Everything looks unreal
Love, regret, memory
Nothing hurts the way it should feel
And the drugs move slowly through me
Like winter through abandoned streets
I can still hear your voice sometimes
Somewhere underneath the static and sleep
Verse 2
The doctor asked if I was sleeping
I almost laughed in his face
Because exhaustion isn't rest
It's just surviving one more day
There's a woman crying in the next room
Through walls too thin to hide pain
And for a second I remember
We all disappear the same
My reflection in the darkened window
Looks older than it did last year
Like the city slowly hollowed me out
And left whatever remained here
Bridge
I think I wanted oblivion
More than I wanted death
Just silence loud enough
To drown everything I regret
Maybe addiction is only grief
With nowhere beautiful to go
A slow collapsing orbit
Around things we can't let go
Final Chorus
Under hospital light
The world turns pale and numb
Like every feeling I once trusted
Already came undone
And somewhere beyond the windows
Morning slowly floods the sky
But I still feel suspended
Between surviving and goodbye
Outro
"Just let me sleep…"
"Just let me sleep…"
"Just let me sleep…"
"Just let me sleep…"
