Verse 1 Sirens sing like lullabies Red lights washing over lies Smiles nailed to perfect doors While the city locks its soul indoors Paper laws and plastic crowns Blessed violence, handed down Clock starts ticking, faith goes mute What we fear is wearing suits Pre-Chorus Hands stay clean till the signal cries Everyone’s holy till midnight strikes Chorus For twelve hours we’re forgiven Every sin gets air to breathe Prayers fall through broken ceilings Tonight we choose who gets to leave When the morning comes, we’re innocent Blood rinsed off the street Say we’re saved… say we’re free For twelve hours clean Verse 2 White masks cracked with crooked grins Neighborhoods turn predators thin Gold crosses, loaded guns Justice bought by richer ones Hide your name, hide your face Mercy’s lost in the gated space If you’re quiet, you might survive If you scream, you prove you’re alive Pre-Chorus Truth don’t matter when the sirens play God clocks out till the break of day Chorus For twelve hours we’re forgiven Every sin gets air to breathe Prayers fall through broken ceilings Tonight we choose who gets to leave When the morning comes, we’re innocent Blood rinsed off the street Say we’re saved… say we’re free For twelve hours clean Bridge Countdown echoes in my bones This house don’t feel like home If heaven’s watching, it blinked Or maybe it just thinks we’re monsters too Break Tick… Tock… No rules No gods Final Chorus For twelve hours we’re forgiven Every wound becomes belief We call it peace, we call it order While we sharpen teeth When the sirens die in silence We pretend we didn’t see Say we’re saved… say we’re free For twelve hours clean Outro Sunrise paints the streets in white Hands washed clean by morning light Until the sirens sing again Amen… amen…
