Does'T Thou Hear the Sirens' Song?
Just before you cave in
You ask me how I have been
Better now, than was then
Tell me how I’ll know when
It’s begun to become the end
Day’s stretch into weeks
The creases show you I’m weak
There’s nothing left for the meek
But it’s all the same to me
Your nightmarish reality
Remind me just what you gave
Pull me up from the grave
Lead me; I’ll be your slave
Can’t say I won’t misbehave
I’ll be as faithful, as the ocean’s wave
Blink to make it all disappear
Can’t shake feeling you here
Shadow’s lingering near
Cheeks choke for a tear
Still you promise me…there’s nothing left to fear
