lyrics

Sirens

In the shallows
Taking water
Throwing it back
You want to follow
Sea is waving
Sirens wailing
Rip the tide
Your canvas failing

The horizon keeps rising
Up on the rocks
Capsizing

Tied to the masthead
Hearing everything she said
Under tow and dread
Sinking feeling
Sky is screaming
Oceans of black
Your crew is reeling

The horizon keeps rising
Up on the rock
Capsizing

This is the song
That you can't hear
this is the song
That only you can hear
Hear it
