[English]

(sirens blaring)

(rock music)

♪ I heard the siren's call ♪

♪ It made me feel alive ♪

♪ Thought I could take it all ♪

♪ Thought that I could survive ♪

♪ You told me it was storming ♪

♪ I know I should've stayed ♪

♪ But I ignored the warning ♪

♪ Now I'm caught out in the rain ♪

♪ Day after day I get lost in this ocean ♪

♪ I kick and I scream and I drown in emotion ♪

♪ Time after time I refuse to surrender ♪

♪ If I don't make it out alive, will you remember me ♪

♪ Remember me ♪

♪ And if I come undone ♪

♪ What have I left behind ♪

♪ Was there a smoking gun ♪

♪ That made me lose my mind ♪

♪ Or will it really matter ♪

♪ If I check out this way ♪

♪ Will you just end up hating ♪

♪ The ghost of what I became ♪

♪ Day after day I get lost in this ocean ♪

♪ I kick and I scream and I drown in emotion ♪

♪ Time after time I refuse to surrender ♪

♪ If I don't make it out alive, will you remember me ♪

(rock music)

♪ Time after time I refuse to surrender ♪

♪ If I don't make it out alive, will you remember me ♪
