Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Coffee’s gone cold on the nightstand

Name on a tag in a cardboard box

Black ink dates on a hospital band

I keep reading them till my heartbeat stops

Photos face-down in a shoebox

His jacket still hanging by the door

Every “I’m fine” was a landmine

Now I’m crying on the kitchen floor

[Chorus]

This is what it feels like

After the sirens fade

When the cameras pack up

And the flowers all decay

We’re the ones still holding

All the names they never say

This is what it feels like

After the sirens fade

[Verse 2]

She learned to smile for the phone calls

Mascara armor on her eyes

Signed every form like a soldier

Till the pen finally ran dry

All of their birthdays on calendars

Circles drawn in a shaking hand

Every “we’re praying” was paper

Now it’s ashes slipping through her hands

[Chorus]

This is what it feels like

After the sirens fade

When the music cuts out

And the colors wash to gray

We’re the ones still counting

Every breath they couldn’t take

This is what it feels like

After the sirens fade

[Bridge]

[stomp clap clap stomp]

We held it in (stomp)

Till it burned our lungs (clap clap stomp)

We laughed too loud (stomp)

So we wouldn’t come undone (clap clap stomp)

[stomp clap clap stomp]

We bit our tongues (stomp)

Till they tasted steel (clap clap stomp)

Now every tear (stomp)

Is a way to heal (clap clap stomp)

[stomp clap clap stomp]

Say their names (stomp)

Till the walls all shake (clap clap stomp)

Feel the fear (stomp)

Let your heart still break (clap clap stomp)

[stomp clap clap stomp]

We’re still here (stomp)

We’re still breathing air (clap clap stomp)

In the quiet

In the crying

We are all their prayer

[Chorus]

This is what it feels like

After the sirens fade

When the stages go dark

But the empty beds remain

We’re the ones still singing

For the lives that pain has changed

This is what it feels like

After the sirens

After the sirens fade
