Deep Down: Sirens of Shame
The sirens are calling in the ocean
Echoing my name in emotion
Erosion in the water of motion
The fish of the sea are making aquatic commotion
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh ahh ahh
Mm mm mm
Deep down,
They’re calling...
They’re falling out of reach
Deep down,
I beseech them to stay
To keep me from falling into the lonely lagoon
A beach not my own
It’s in the deep unknown
Deep down...
Deep down..
I’m all alone...
Sirens in the flames
They’re calling me James
When, in fact, the name’s Jonah
I hear them still...a beauty within a flaw
Sirens of shame
They’re just not tame
And I’m not to blame
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh ahh ahh
Mm mm mm
Deep down,
They’re calling...
They’re falling out of reach
Deep down,
I beseech them to stay
To keep me from falling into the lonely lagoon
A beach not my own
It’s in the deep unknown
Deep down...
Deep down..
I’m all alone...
The sirens are in the waves
Beneath the lighthouse
Let’s be brave and behave
Follow the rules to the watery house
The cliffs are cold and bare
The wind is whistling everywhere
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh ahh ahh
Mm mm mm
Deep down,
They’re calling...
They’re falling out of reach
Deep down,
I beseech them to stay
To keep me from falling into the lonely lagoon
A beach not my own
It’s in the deep unknown
Deep down...
Deep down..
I’m all alone...
The seagles and the sea
Are friends and foes of mine
Until the maelstrom hurricane, heavy rainfall, whirling windstorm and illuminated lightning hits violently
But...I...
Hear the roaring waters below
They call me in the abyss so low
I know - listen - I know their glow...
A wind of silent blow...and it will show...
Into the not-so-shallow waters of long ago
Sweatbeads on my brow, I wipe it off and dive into the H2O of crystal clear, icy rough though
