[Verse 1]
I see her face in the glass
In the butcher shop door
In the bus stop rain
On the apartment floor
Your mouth in a stranger’s smile
Your hands in a waiter’s shake
I freeze in the aisle
I can’t make the frame break
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that shape
I know that stare
I carried your name
Like a rusted snare
Every hallway bends
Every shadow lies
Then the red and blue
Start cutting the sky
[Chorus]
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
They call my name
From borrowed skin
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
I run to you
And lose again
(lose again)
(lose again)
[Verse 2]
At the laundromat wall
I caught your jaw in a wife
At the corner store light
In a kid’s black eyes
I said I was free
I said I was gone
But the bruise in my chest
Kept your ghost moving on
You taught me fear
Like a prayer in the dark
Now I taste your breath
When a stranger walks past
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that shape
I know that stare
I kept your storm
Hidden everywhere
Every white coat
Every cop car flash
Pulls me back down
To the place you last
[Chorus]
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
They call my name
From borrowed skin
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
I run to you
And lose again
(lose again)
(lose again)
[Bridge]
If I shatter the glass
Will you still be there?
If I burn every door
Will I find your chair?
I hear boots in the hall
I hear metal sing
I see my own hands
Full of nothing clean
[Final Chorus]
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
They call my name
From borrowed skin
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
I run to you
And lose again
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
The blue lights come
For what I’ve been
Mirror sirens
Mirror sirens
I hear them now
I hear them in my skin
