Sirens

I watch the sea, I listen

To hear her voice

To hear the melody

I don’t know when, but one day

I’ll make that choice

To fall deep in

Waves, upon waves, upon waves

Biting

Washing over me

In endless

Waves, upon waves, upon waves

Inviting

Flooding into me

Now I am haunted by her song

Beautiful and wrong

Still pushing deeper

I bear the scars, of her kiss

Never thought I’d miss

Now I long for

Eternal

Days, upon days, upon days

Of drowning

On the ocean floor

I’m seeking

Ways, upon ways, upon ways

To recreate

That sound once more

Gone evermore

Dreaming in fevers

Fictions and weavers

Beauty deceivers

Call me

Urging me out there

Lapping up sea air

Flesh daring to bear

All those fucking teeth

Digging into me

Making me believe

The lie

That calls me out to search the sky

At night, to see

What waits under those waves for me

Waves like mountains

And I put the Goddamn effort in

Always counting

The days I may have left within

To hear her voice (x3)

To make that choice

I’ll make that choice

To make it

The weather turn, the season change

And still I yearn, I burn, I freeze

She callin’ me, she callin’ sweet

She led me to higher miseries

To hear that voice

To hear the malady

To make that choice

And cease to be

That all my love

Shredded in her teeth

That all my life

Would come to sink beneath
