Sirens

Without you, I just wouldn't be sprained and broken tumbling You know, in fact I might just be a stranger Without a fire in my heart or blood on my stars, I'd freeze And thunder makes the wildest sound when emptiness is all around Everything about it screaming danger Oh, I got fear in my breath, it's flooding my lungs, I can't sleep It's all that I hear, it's all that I want to be Well, sirens call my name like ghosts Like the walls in my head keep me home Like a small paper bag in a storm I am lost, I am cold, I am yours I am yours And if you told me way back then, I'd never see your face again In fact, some day I might call you a stranger Well, there'd be fear in my heart, a fire on my tongue, I'd freeze And I don't know if you feel the same, but I'd like to make amends someday But please don't think I'd try to rearrange you You put a fire in my heart, painted blood on my stars, gave me faith We don't become who we are without the bruises and scars, I think Well sirens call my name like ghosts Like the walls in my head keep me home Like a small paper bag in a storm I am lost, I am cold, I am yours I am yours I have been bold I've been red I've been cold I've been led I have cut out the doubt I have killed with these hands I have cried out your name At the edge of disdain I have screamed like a man I have done all I can But somehow I still carry you, I still carry you, I still carry you I still carry you, I still carry you, I still carry you I still carry you, I still carry you, I still carry you I still carry you, I still carry you, I still carry you And if you told me way back then, I'd never see your face again In fact, some day I might call you a stranger There'd be fear in my heart, a fire on my tongue, I'd, I'd freeze
