Sirens (feat. Loaf)

Father

Father
Father
Father (Father)
Why do I even bother? (Bother)
Runnin' under water (Water)
But I can't stop
The sirens call for me
Father (Father)
Why do I even bother? (Bother)
Runnin' under water (Water)
But I can't stop the sirens
I'm prayin' for silence

I'm not religious but
God I'm callin' you right now
I feel like my environment's Slowly been killin' me
The sirens are firin'
Hopin' they'd pipe down
It's odd to see the Iliad
After the Odyssey
Hopin' that mama's
Proud of me
Watchin' me navigate
Through the streets
Like I missed the bus
Ready to throw some fisticuffs
Messin' the system up
Is what we need to do
'Cause I am not an animal
I don't care
What it seems to you
'Cause everyday I feel like Rushin' to press a button
To kill all these sirens
That sound like Russians Havin' discussions
They shoot my direction
They bussin'
Duckin' but still concussions
I feel like I'm stuck and prayin' For luck but I'm seeing nothin'
Don't wanna (Cope)
I hear 'em they're gettin' (Close)
I feel like I need to run
I'm weak and I'm movin' slow
And slowly I'm losin' hope
Don't know how
I'm stayin' grounded
So here I go
Before they have me
Fully surrounded

Father (Father)
Why do I even bother? (Bother)
Runnin' under water (Water)
But I can't stop
The sirens call for me
Father (Father)
Why do I even bother? (Bother)
Runnin' under water (Water)
But I can't stop
The sirens
I'm prayin' for silence

I'm prayin' for
(Prayin' for) silence
Don't know where the
(Know where the) time went
I might just drift into an island
But I can't stop myself

Now if a rumble in the jungle
Was made to crumble societies
Tell me who I would be
To defy what is predetermined
And while every city is burnin'
These bridges ignited
Taught me the lessons
I wasn't learnin'
Standing united
Brought us respect
That we wasn't earnin'
Shifted my focus
Made me reflect on
What I was yearnin'
The years of misdirection
Correct the gears I was turnin'
From sirens calling me sweetly
To silence
That is concernin' (Ay)
Now I can feel a force
Is pullin' me
It's rulin' me
And soundin' beautifully
And lullin' me to sleep
And weighin' heavy
It's like a eulogy
The water's cool and deep
And all that I can see
Is that the current's churning
And it's stayin' steady
Prayin' and stayin' ready
Set for collision
I had a vision my soul was lifted
Up outta my body
And as I started floatin'
I could envision
My son sittin' screamin' (Father)

Father (Father)
Why do I even bother? (Bother)
Runnin' under water (Water)
But I can't stop
The sirens call for me
Father (Father)
Why do I even bother (Bother)
Runnin' under water (Water)
But I can't stop
The sirens
I'm prayin' for silence

I'm prayin' for
(Prayin' for) silence
Don't know where the
(Know where the) time went
I might just drift into an island
But I can't stop myself
I'm prayin' for
(Prayin' for) silence
Don't know where the
(Know where the)time went
I might just drift into an island
But I can't stop myself
