🌊 Metaphor Seeds

Another movieLife after illness as stepping back onto a set before the final credits can roll.

Hospital gown to stage lightThe body moves from treatment rooms toward cameras, dawn, and public life again.

Scars as locationsNeedle marks and scars become map points where the next scene begins.

📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Five winters in the dressing room
Counting bruises by the moon
A quiet phone, a paper cup
A hard chair saying, don’t get up

The mirror kept its bedside stare
Salt in the beard, silver in the hair
But somewhere under all that snow
A pilot light refused to go

[Pre-Chorus]
And the machines sang low
Like ghosts behind the wall
But a voice inside the static said
We are not done at all

[Chorus]
It’s time I did another movie
Roll the cameras, raise the light
I walked through hell in a hospital gown
And came back hungry for the night
If the credits thought they knew me
Tell the dark I changed the line
I’m not the ending they were shooting
It’s time I did another movie
It’s time

[Verse 2]
There were days without a lion’s roar
Just pills lined up like little doors
Friends would call from far away
Trying not to sound afraid

But fear is just a rented room
You leave it when the flowers bloom
The body learns a slower song
Then asks the heart to sing along

[Pre-Chorus]
And the needle leaves a constellation
Blue stars on the skin
Every scar becomes a location
Where the next scene begins

[Chorus]
It’s time I did another movie
Roll the cameras, raise the light
I walked through hell in a hospital gown
And came back hungry for the night
If the credits thought they knew me
Tell the dark I changed the line
I’m not the ending they were shooting
It’s time I did another movie
It’s time

[Bridge]
Not every miracle is thunder
Some just breathe and make some tea
Some look out across the garden
And say there’s still a part for me
Not every comeback kicks the door down
Some arrive with trembling hands
But the script is warm and open
And the old heart understands

[Final Chorus]
It’s time I did another movie
Roll the cameras, raise the light
I walked through hell in a hospital gown
And came back laughing at the night
If the credits thought they knew me
Tell the dark I changed the line
I’m not the ending they were shooting
It’s time I did another movie
It’s time

[Outro]
Cue the dawn and mark the frame
I’m still here
Call my name
