lyrics

Hear outside my window, awake I second guess attack
What mad I find I’m later, laking plans with an axe
Over oceans distant, whyI sense that your with me
I swear that your the lightening, and Im the lucky tree

You are just a fire alarm.

Availed by surveillance, who’s eyes are there watching me
In the cul-de-sac of the chest clocking every beat
Expressions of a tension, I’m silenced by the throat
Watch a flashback like a car crash dark, distant and remote

You are just a fire alarm

Valleys home to falcon and skulls with eyes of prey
Shadows hope invisible, arms length from harms way
Panic pricks fleshy feels, before the Kahu and it’s claw
Message sent predictive text, barricade the door

You are just a fire alarm

Persistent irritation, keep picking at those scabs
Survive, I’m in denial, I tell myself this is bad
Sirens calling somewhere, won’t someone turn them off
No-one else can hear them, it’s just my brain going off

You are just a fire alarm
