lyrics

There’s a siren long since living in my brain
She sings a lullaby and whispers my name
It’s a tune I swear I know from long ago
It serves to remind me that I’m not made of stone

Pre-chorus:
She said wait no, keep your hand inside my coat
I swear it’s much warmer there than it is around my throat
I’ll be the memory when we were young
You’ll be the taste upon my tongue
Like a sickness
Like a fever hangin’ on to my weakness
I’ll be dead before it’s gone

In my weakest hour
Do ya grovel and cower
In my weakest hour
Do you cry half the night through
Do ya cry when I’m through with you
Do ya cry when we are through

Would I apologize for a thing that I admire
While I gladly lose my faith to the fire
Is my experience not born from truth
Is my sadness now the folly of youth

She said wait no
You’ve come far enough to know
Your more than just a preacher’s son
With a lie caught in his throat
More than the sum of a life unlived
The dyin’ breath you could not give
Like a sickness like a fever hangin’ on to my weakness
I’ll be dead before your gone

In my weakest hour do ya grovel and cower
In my weakest hour
Am I a lie you wish could be true
You know I cry when I'm through with you
You know I cry when I’m through with you
