Hitting Snooze on Air Raid Sirens

Shoved a sock down my throat to keep it quiet

And I choked and I choked until I liked it

And the cut makes a scar

But a scar doesn’t stretch

Birds in Ukraine weave

Fibre optic wire nests

Moving on when you don’t wanna

Normal meets you halfway there

In a hallway, in a coma

Waiting room somewhere

Way too soon to share

But life goes wrong

And then goes on

A weapon drawn

Drop the gun

It’s been so long

No one remembers why I care

On the record skips a song

We wrote to keep us here

Now I’m halved and scared

But life goes wrong

And then goes on

Forgive at dawn

Sirens you don’t believe

Lasting stains on your sleeve

You will cry and will heave

Until you calm your chest

Moving on when you don’t wanna

Normal meets you halfway there

In a hallway, in a coma

Waiting room somewhere

Way too soon to share

But life goes wrong

And then goes on

A weapon drawn

Drop the gun

It’s been so long

No one remembers why I care

On the record skips a song

We wrote to keep us here

Now I’m halved and scared

But life goes wrong

And then goes on

Forgive at dawn
