Sirens Call

Lyrics: [Verse 1] Thumbprint prayer on a glassy face Blue-white glow in a darkened room You wake up drowned in a flood of pings And feed your hours to the machine Mother at the door, you say “one sec” As the seconds rot into a year Your own pulse feels borrowed now Like a loan with interest in fear [Pre-Chorus] Tap, tap, tap Till your hands go numb Feed the wave Till your name comes undone Hear it hum Hear it pull you under One more scroll Then the floor starts to crumble [Chorus] Siren's Call It's in your throat Siren's Call It's in your bones Siren's Call It shakes your hands Your knees hit hard Your thumbs won't quit Siren's Call Before it ends us all [Verse 2] Kids in rows with a screen-lit stare Learning truth from a fractured feed A hundred faces, none are real Still they sell you what you need Maps in the palm, but you lose your home Every road gets a blue dot crown You can find the door in the app And still forget what waits around [Pre-Chorus] Tap, tap, tap Till the light goes cold Feed the wave Let it buy your soul Hear it hum Hear it name your hunger One more touch Then the roof caves in [Chorus] Siren's Call It's in your throat Siren's Call It's in your bones Siren's Call It shakes your hands Your knees hit hard Your phone won't stand Siren's Call Siren's Call [Rap Bridge] When the grid goes dark, who are you then? No glowing feed to kneel to, no voice to bend Streetlamp stutter on a cracked front step Keys in the bowl and the TV set dead Laundry still warm, dishes in the sink Half a cup of coffee gone cold at the brink A dog at the window, a bike in the rain A hand on a shoulder, a face, a name The real world breathes, and it still remains [Breakdown] Cut the wire Kill the glow Leave the cracked front step, let the streetlamp show Keys in the bowl TV gone dead Laundry warm, dishes stacked in the sink instead Cold coffee Dog at the glass Bike on the porch with the rain in the spokes and grass A hand on a shoulder A face, a name Pull us back to the room where the real world stays CUT IT BACK PULL IT DOWN TAKE YOUR LIFE OUT OF THE CLOUD Siren's Call We hear you now BLEGH!! [Long, Shredding Guitar Solo] BLEGH!! [Final Chorus] Siren's Call It's in your throat Siren's Call It's in your bones Siren's Call It shakes your hands Your knees hit hard Your phone won't stand Siren's Call Siren's Call [Outro] When the screen goes black And the room stands still Will you hear your own heart Or obey its will?
