Intro

Hook
I am waiting for your familiar call
while sirens pierce right through the plaster wall
I pull my knees into my chest once more
I am waiting for your familiar call

Verse 1
I leave the kitchen faucet running over both my hands
and try to clear my head to understand my own demands
The cardboard boxes sit unopened right against the base
and every glass reflection shows a stranger in my face
The heavy traffic outside rattles on the plaster wall
and darkness spreads as cold and sudden silences befall
A heavy metal door just slammed out on the concrete stairs
reminding me that nobody around me really cares
A text from mama asks me how I really feel
and every single word she types is colder than steel
I send a lie that says I am okay in steady tone
then drop my head between my knees and sit right here alone

Hook
I am waiting for your familiar call
while sirens pierce right through the plaster wall
I pull my knees into my chest once more
I am waiting for your familiar call

Verse 2
I dig into my denim pocket for the mailbox key
beside a cold ceramic mug of bitter herbal tea
The dirty windowpane is shaking from the freezing rain
while underground I feel the vibration of a passing train
A swallow of regret gets tangled inside of my throat
as I pull on the faded zipper of my winter coat
I miss the gravel shoulder turning off our country lane
where nobody was running desperate away from pain
The blue police lights color every corner of this room
and lock me in the middle of a heavy crowded gloom
I count the yellow cabs that splash along the broken street
and try to match my racing breathing to the heavy beat

Hook
I am waiting for your familiar call
while sirens pierce right through the plaster wall
I pull my knees into my chest once more
I am waiting for your familiar call

Outro
I turn the latch and lock the heavy door
I cannot fight this silence anymore
