Quiet Like Sirens

Focus on the background.
Focus on the truth.
Waiting for the signals.
Wait, nobody move.
Give it just a moment
Listen to the silence
There’s a paralyzing quiet like sirens.
You can forget leaving here like this.
I don’t want to stand here
Don’t you understand it’s
Feeding on fear
Caught red handed.
Gotta get everybody out right now.
Breath until it’s over.
Maybe make it through.
Like water through my fingers.
There’s nothing I can do
