vermillion heights - sirens lyrics

[verse]
the hands on the clock keep turning
i’m learning to associate each tick
with the burning in my gut
as i sit in the waiting room
with the smell of decay
that bleach just can’t wash away
no, it can’t wash away

[pre+chorus]
they called nine+one+one
they said the found you unconscious and unresponsive
the pills you took have haunted me for so long
now i’m empty as a desert in the sun
no comfort, no hospitality

[verse]
but now i’m filling the hole you left
with useless objects i collect
i never planned for you not to be here
when we were younger and planted a seed
where it could grow
i’m just so used to the sirens outside
that i never stopped to question just where they were going
or why they were there in the first place
i just never noticed
i never noticed

[bridge]
the bags under your eyes
the distress in your voice
you weren’t fine
yeah, you weren’t fine
(yeah, you weren’t fine)
yeah, you weren’t fine
and the days we had are dead and gone
and i never got to say
that i love you just the same
drifting further away

[chorus]
no questions means no answers
no chances left to ask you
how you feel today or, “will you be okay?”
they had an open casket so i could see your face
an ornate flower basket laid at your feet
it was autumn, the leaves were falling
i’ll always remember the sunset on your grave
[outro]
but at least i’m doing something about it
at least i’m not complaining about it
don’t get down on myself for the reactions
i assume that you’ll have
or put words in your mouth
before they ever come out
i’m not jumping to conclusions
like off a bridge over the mississippi river
