Intro
Look. I came in orange, holy as a traffic cone White cap, little rattle, cathedral in your palm Doctor wrote your first prayer in a blue-ink psalm Said shake me when the room gets loud
Verse 1
I was born on a counter under fluorescent grace Lot number, logo smile, barcode face Childproof crown, but the sadness had a key Funny how "take as needed" always sounded like me I watched your sink learn the names of the night Watched your jaw go quiet, watched your hands get polite I'm not evil, baby, I'm inventory Just a tiny paid actor in a mercy story
Pre-chorus
You call it treatment, billing calls it yield Every refill got a sermon and a shield Say be well, then swipe the strip Grace in the bottle, debt on the chip
Chorus
Shake me, bill me, bless me in blue I keep your prayers in a childproof pew Take two truths and a copay too I was made to heal, now I invoice you Shake me, bill me, halo on gold Your miracle's warm, but the market is cold I click like a church when the register moves I was made to heal, now I invoice you
Verse 2
Month one, neat label, breakfast and sleep Month two, same script, dose walking deeper Month three, early refill, lost it on the trip Everybody in the room knows what trip is Nurse on the phone got a sainted tone Hold music spinning like a halo over bones Prior auth purgatory, fax machine rain You get ten more tablets if you prove your pain
Pre-chorus
Every checkbox dressed like care Every smile got a processing fee somewhere They say stable like a shelf Long as you can pay for help
Chorus
Shake me, bill me, bless me in blue I keep your prayers in a childproof pew Take two truths and a copay too I was made to heal, now I invoice you Shake me, bill me, halo on gold Your miracle's warm, but the market is cold I click like a church when the register moves I was made to heal, now I invoice you
Verse 3
Now your card decline sings better than the choir Rent due, lights low, appetite tired You split me with a butter knife, halves like moons Stretching thirty days through sixty afternoons The ad says freedom with a lake and a grin Fine print whispering everything it isn't Savings card, coupon, loophole roulette Cheap for the camera, costly in the net
Verse 4
Then I moved in permanent, drawer to vein of thought You stopped taking me to live, took me not to rot I heard your laugh get shorter, heard your people leave Heard the mattress pray in the dent of your knees I used to be the bridge, now I'm the toll Orange little landlord of a chemical soul When you kissed the cap like a relic at dawn I knew the joke was dead, but the sale stayed on
Bridge
Here's the punchline: your halo is just a barcode in gold
Bridge
I never loved you, I learned your schedule I never chased pain, I was shipped for revenue They call me compliance when I make you kneel Call me abuse when you miss a refill Either way, somebody upstairs eats While you count white stars in the bedsheet creases
Verse 5
Bottle on the tile, label torn like skin Last refill date blinking where your pulse had been Room cold, sun rude, voicemail full of care All the people who said reach out were never there Sweep me in a dustpan, put me with the glass Let the choir sound cracked when the sirens pass I am what remains when the patent meets grief A sermon with side effects, sold as relief
Chorus
Shake me, bill me, bless me in blue I kept your prayers in a childproof pew Take two truths and a copay too I was made to heal, then I fed on you Shake me, bill me, halo gone cold No saint in the plastic, just margin and mold When the drums cut dead and the choir cuts through I was made to heal What they made me do
