Sirens in the Stillness

Sirens in the Stillness

Verse 1 He cracked a joke, turned out the light
No one saw the battle in the night. He said he’d call
the line stayed still, His coat hangs there
the bed is chill.
Verse 2 She drafted words she never sent
Erased the lines
her courage spent. They said she wore a sunny bloom

But sadness fills the quiet room.
Chorus Sirens in the stillness, no flashing red
Just shadows missed before they bled. They spoke too low
behind the doors
Now we light their names like dirty wars.

Bridge No loud parade, no clear display
Just one more name to file away. We look right past what they can’t say
Another debt we cannot pay.
Verse 3 It’s not just pain, it’s chains that bind
A private hell you carry blind. They did not fold
they were not weak
They held the truths we fear to speak.

Chorus Sirens in the stillness, too close to hear
Lost in noise we never clear. We paint it soft
we change the sound
But they still cry from underground.
Outro So when you ask why they went down
Some pain just waits
without a sound. You’ll miss the marks every time

Because the sirens sound like yours and mine.
