Sirens Lyrics

Smitten, vibrant, vain and beckoned by ruthless compliance

With gravity and playfulness

Unwritten poetry, uttered so quietly, melting in defiance

Of textbooks and paving trucks

I just want to be something worth saving

Someone you'd want to love

I am already something else

Vicissitudes, voracious and wild

I am not diseased

Outrageous and defiled

By sumptuous glances and flickers in your eyes

Wanting to reiterate each spell, each surprise

Knowing every tendency, should this be insufficient

It could not have been entropy

Violets sprout, hellhounds colluding

Where moss grows on river beds

Boundless and brooding

While I had been sleeping

On the carpet, gently bleeding

From the night terrors

Depleting and severing

Tremors and turbulence, trepidatious unraveling

It has been long, since I've loved like this

In this burrow and bundle every warmth feels so sorrowful

Permutations are menacing and beautiful

Bottlecaps, night gowns and bread knives

Slice through my thumb like anti-psychotics

Torrential, feckless, acrobatic and dutiful

An elastic betrayal, evenings amassing like parking tickets on my windshield
