[Intro]
[low vocal register]
Radio hissing
Dashboard glow on my badge
Fiddle crying in the backseat
Like it knows what I’m about to crash
[Verse 1]
Bleeding dawn in the rearview
Empty streets, but my pulse packed
Brother’s name on the dispatch
Like a bullet right between my thoughts
Red scribble on the GPS
Cut the wheel where the grid ends
Sirens chewing on the quiet
Every light feels like it’s my fault
[Chorus]
Sirens in my head, I can’t slow down
Got your shaking voice running through this town
If the road gives out, I’ll run on ground
I’m coming for you, I’m coming for you
Sirens in my head, burn through the night
If it costs my breath, I’ll pay that price
Hold on, hold on, don’t lose that fight
I’m coming for you, I’m coming for you
[Verse 2]
[rapid-fire rap]
Boot on the floorboard, needle in the red
Every corner like it wants me dead
Dispatch cracking but I hear your breath
Little break in it, dancing with death
You say “they’re here” then the signal smears
Static taste, metallic fear
I see our porch, that busted rail
You fell off once, I swore I’d never fail
[Bridge]
[fiddle solo, wild and high]
[shouted gang vocals]
“Breathe, breathe, don’t you fade on me!”
Repeat like a prayer in my teeth
Every scar on my knuckles
Every fight we ever dragged through the street
Flashback
Backseat
You pulling glass from my cheek
Saying, “I got you, I got you”
Now it’s my turn to speak
[Chorus]
Sirens in my head, I can’t slow down
Got your shaking voice running through this town
If the road gives out, I’ll run on ground
I’m coming for you, I’m coming for you
Sirens in my head, burn through the night
If it costs my breath, I’ll pay that price
Hold on, hold on, don’t lose that fight
I’m coming for you, I’m coming for you
[Outro]
[half-time drums, layered harmonies]
Blue lights wash the broken door
Your name still hanging in the porch air
Drop the gun, drop the rage, drop to the floor
Wrap you up like a last prayer
[drums snap back to full speed]
I got you, I got you
You’re not going anywhere
