Sirens Call

As silence breaks the night
It’s the noise that bends the sound
As we pray under a falling sky
With faith designed to heal

I wish I’d learned to walk towards you
Towards you, oh, my love
Before I’d go on running away
Through the streets of faceless dreams
But now, there are no sparks to lie asleep

It’s the end within the end
As whispering tears cover my soul
When sirens call, when sirens call
In blaze-like screams
That only drifting hearts can truly hear
When sirens call, when sirens call

I should have left with you
With you a thousand times
Before your trembling voice would disappear
As we’re leaving sorrows, to crawl in
As colors are losing senses, of morning

It’s the end within the end
As whispering tears cover my soul
When sirens call, when sirens call
In blaze-like screams
That only drifting hearts can truly hear
When sirens call, when sirens call

As silence breaks the night
As we breathe in, as we breathe out
As we give in, as we give out
Leaving nothing, oh nothing behind
As we hope to be seen, to be all glowing on
Before all sirens call, all sirens call
