I Remember 2006 - Wait for the Sirens to Die

{Verse One}
Once the ambulance drove off
Allison hid in a café parlor
Staring down into the foam in the cup
Her brain repeats what happened that day
"How could such a thing happen?" She asks herself
"How could such a thing happen?"

{Verse Two}

As the barista attends to other costumers
Allison glares outside the windows
The vehicles soar down the road
She swears she can still hear the alarms
It rocks her to the core
"Poor kid," she thinks to herself

{Verse Three}

She's sure he'll make it
Shе can only imagine
What the recovеry process will be like
"Of anyone to get shot
Why did it have to be a child
When I'm the one with the criminal record?" She ponders

{Verse Four}
"Why didn't Gerald not take me in already?"
She questions herself
"Does he not know me
Or is he just trying to catch me in the act
Of dealing with a costumer?"
There's too many thoughts in her head

{Verse Five}

"I can't stare here forever
Wait for the sirens to die
That's your cue to leave
Leave the cash on the table
Go somewhere for the day
Return during the twilight hours."
