War Sirens
You tried to shield me from the world
With your blankets made of steel
Where I was safe
And resentful
‘Cause you never stopped to ask
If I could
Breathe beneath the weight
Of what you called protection
I’ll be holding on with all I got while you reach for more
And I’ll be standing guard in front of you ‘til the very end
You’re sounding your war sirens
You’re sounding off your war sirens
And tearing up all of your silver linings
And now I know
That if you ever
Gave me my very own
That it could
Only mean one thing
That you already donned the gold
I’ll be holding on with all I got while you reach for more
And I’ll be standing guard in front of you ‘til the very end
I’ll be holding on with all I got while you reach for more
And I’ll be standing guard in front of you ‘til the very end
You’re sounding your war sirens
