In silent nights I hear sirens,
joking for years about them coming for us;
but that night was no joke;
a knock at the door,
a message from a friend,
a locked room;
a scream,
a wail,
a puddle;
in the silence of the night I hear a heart monitor steady.

In silent nights I hear sirens,
joking for years about them coming for us;
but that night was no joke;
a knock at the door,
a message from a friend,
a locked room;
a scream,
a wail,
a puddle;
in the silence of the night I hear a heart monitor steady.
this is my biggest fear.
