Lyrics
Oh
Oh-oh
Oh
Old alarms
Some nights a slammed door turns electric
And my ribs go hard as wire
I can taste the old smoke rising
Even when there isn’t fire
That old code still lives beneath me
In the muscle, in the marrow
Pulling every switch to panic
Trying to make the whole world narrow
But the curtains are gold in the window
And your voice is low, not loud
Tell my blood we are not at war now
Tell my bones they can come back down
Old alarms
Going off inside my head again
Old alarms
Saying run when I should let you in
Red lights
But the room is clean and still
I know the sound, I know the harm
Stand down, old alarms
Stand down
Stand down
I’m still here
Stand down
Old alarms
Every siren in the distance
Every shadow near the door
Used to mean brace for impact
Now it doesn’t anymore
But the body keeps receipts, man
And the pulse can’t always read
What is danger
What is memory
What is only speed
Still the morning lays gold on the floorboards
Still the air says stay, don’t run
So I breathe through every false emergency
Till my heart remembers where it’s from
Old alarms
Going off inside my head again
Old alarms
Saying run when I should let you in
Red lights
But the room is clean and still
I know the sound, I know the harm
Stand down, old alarms
Nothing’s burning
Nothing’s breaking
No one’s coming through the wall
It’s just the old fear
Dressed up like truth
Trying to make me small
And I won’t kneel
To a ghost in the wiring
I won’t live
Like the fire’s still on
Let it scream
Let it empty
Let it find out it was wrong
Old alarms
Going off inside my head again
Old alarms
Saying run when I should let you in
Red lights
But the room is clean and still
I know the sound, I know the harm
Stand down, old alarms
Stand down
Stand down
I’m still here
Stand down
Old alarms
