Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kept the porch light on
For a town that never came back
Bled my knuckles on their locked doors
Thought the fault was mine for that
I wore their stories like armor
Till the weight pushed through my skin
They were chanting my name in the daylight
Then they tucked my monsters in
[Chorus]
You were sleeping with the sirens off
While I was screaming through the walls
You passed the bottle and called it love
Watched me crumble
Watched me fall
I gave you every perfect alibi
For every hand that dragged me under
You let me die a thousand quiet times
Just so you never heard the thunder
[Verse 2]
They said
“You’re so strong
So chosen”
While I choked on someone’s pills
Signed my soul on dotted mattresses
Burned the truth for all their thrills
I woke up broken and blurry
With their laughter in my throat
You just shrugged and said I’m “tired”
Pulled my pain around your coat
[Chorus]
You were sleeping with the sirens off
While I was screaming through the walls
You passed the bottle and called it love
Watched me crumble
Watched me fall
I gave you every perfect alibi
For every hand that dragged me under
You let me die a thousand quiet times
Just so you never heard the thunder
[Bridge]
I am not your holy scapegoat
Not your quiet sacrifice
I am done mistaking gaslight
For some twisted sort of light
I am carving out an exit
Through the concrete of your shame
You can keep your blessed silence
I am taking back my name (hey!)
[Chorus]
You were sleeping with the sirens off
While I was screaming through the walls
You passed the bottle and called it love
Watched me crumble
Watched me fall
I gave you every perfect alibi
Now I’m the one who walks away
You can keep your comfort
Keep your lies
I’ll be the storm you couldn’t face

Prompt
Alternative rock I suddenly realized that my community that I spent my life protecting and saving had abandoned and forgotten me and allowed me to be continually abused, drugged and raped in my sleep.
