[Verse 1]
I once was heavy on the tongue
I never listened
I tried to be the only one
What was I missing?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I did was talk
And I should've kept the silence
I couldn't walk the walk
And I didn't hear the sirens
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I hear it, used to fear it
My lullaby for the strong
The sirens behind islands
Oh-oh-oh, I am gone
[Verse 2]
I tried to trade in everything
Didn't count my blessings
And all that glitter isn't free
I was still missing
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause all I did wait
And I should've kept on moving
What a waste to hesitate
Until the sirens became soothing
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I hear it, used to fear it
My lullaby for the strong
The sirens behind islands
Oh-oh-oh, I am gone
[Bridge]
In the corners of my mind
I hear them bells right by summer times
I prefer to waste a victory for victims place
It's alright, I am still numb and I don't care if no one comes
No one comes, no one comes
[Chorus]
I hear it, used to fear it
My lullaby for the strong
The sirens behind islands
Oh-oh-oh, I am gone
I hear it, used to fear it
My lullaby for the strong
The sirens behind islands
Oh-oh-oh, I am gone
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

I don’t like to write music about frivolous things. Sirens is no exception, it is about the all too often times that we ignore problems in our lives instead of dealing with them head-on, and all of the ways that this effects us.
