Ooh… (don’t look down) Ooh… (don’t turn ’round) Hear it? That sound— Neon bleeding through the hotel blinds Another city, another borrowed life My name on the marquee, my soul in the suitcase Smile for the cameras like I’m not two-faced I’m sugar on my tongue, but my chest is stone Missing someone I can’t call home And every night the silence gets loud Like the ocean when it drags you down La-la-la… They’re calling me La-la-la… Too sweet to be free Backstage glitter, broken glass I make it look easy, make it look class I could kiss a stranger just to feel alive Then laugh when the rumor turns into a hive They want a fantasy they can own So I give ’em the fire, keep the smoke for my lungs If I’m a danger, let me be I’d rather burn than beg to breathe And the lights start flickering, heartbeat sync Crowd gets hungry when you’re on the brink Every “love you” sounds like a threat When you’re drowning in the internet ’Cause the sirens, sirens Singing from the skyline, calling, calling Pull me to the edge of the night Make me wanna jump just to feel the height And the sirens, sirens Sweet like a weapon when they want it, want it If I get too close, I might not survive But I chase that sound like it keeps me alive Those sirens (Hands up) (eyes shut) (Too much) (I’m touched) (One more hit of the spotlight) I scroll through the comments in the dark Try to find myself between the hearts Somebody says I saved their life today And I don’t know what to do with that weight ’Cause I’m scared if I stop, I disappear I’m scared if I speak, you’ll hear That I’m not the girl you think you see Just a voice in a pretty sea ’Cause the sirens, sirens Singing from the skyline, calling, calling Pull me to the edge of the night Make me wanna jump just to feel the height And the sirens, sirens Sweet like a weapon when they want it, want it If I get too close, I might not survive But I chase that sound like it keeps me alive Those sirens If you met me without the lights Would you still reach for my hand? If the ocean took my disguise Would you understand? I’m tired of swimming in a costume Tired of smiling through the bruise But the crowd sings my name like a rescue And it feels like a noose La-la-la… (don’t look down) La-la-la… (don’t turn ’round) La-la-la… They’re calling me now ’Cause the sirens, sirens Singing from the skyline, calling, calling Pull me to the edge of the night Make me wanna jump just to feel the height And the sirens, sirens Sweet like a weapon when they want it, want it If I get too close, I might not survive But I chase that sound like it keeps me alive Those sirens If you hear them… run. (…or follow.)
