Oliver Daldry
Sirens
Without you I just wouldn’t be sprained and broken tumbling
You know in fact I just might be a stranger
Without a fire in my heart or blood on my stars
I freeze

And thunder makes the wildest sound when emptiness is all around
Everything about it’s screaming danger
Oh I got fear on 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 bored
I have been red
I’ve been cold
I've have been led
I have cuddled the dawn
I have killed with these hands

I have cried out your name
In the end did you stay
I have screamed like a man
I have done all I can

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

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 freeze
