Night Time Sirens

[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold
Gear on the floor
Night time sirens
Calling us out the door
Strong on the surface
Hands still shake
We joke too loud
To outrun the ache
[Chorus]
This is for the strong and the scarred
For the dedicated hearts in the dark
We carry all this trauma like armor on our skin
Laughing through the tragically hard just to make it to the end
Emergency after emergency
Still we show up again
This is for the strong
Who break
Then stand again
[Verse 2]
Dark humor in the driveway
Ash in our hair
Bonding over stories
No one else could bear
Smoke in our lungs
Names on the wall
We remember every face
Pretend we don’t recall
[Chorus]
This is for the strong and the scarred
For the dedicated hearts in the dark
We carry all this trauma like armor on our skin
Laughing through the tragically hard just to make it to the end
Emergency after emergency
Still we show up again
This is for the strong
Who break
Then stand again
[Bridge]
When the world is burning
Who answers the call?
When the weight is brutal
Who catches the fall?
It’s us in the flash
In the red-white haze
Holding one another
Through the longest days
[Chorus]
This is for the strong and the scarred
For the dedicated hearts in the dark
We carry all this trauma like armor on our skin
Laughing through the tragically hard just to make it to the end
Emergency after emergency
We rise and we descend
This is for the strong
My brothers
My sisters
My friends

Midtempo modern rock with male vocals, palm-muted guitars building from tense verses into a huge, chantable chorus; tom-heavy drums that swell like approaching engines, subtle synth pads under the hook, and a raw, close-mic vocal that cracks on key words. Bridge drops to low voice and distant ambience before a final, anthemic chorus with gang vocals and gritty, overdriven lead lines., strong
