Sirens

Cement hearts and wondering thoughts
Give in, your murmur, give in

The calm before the storm
Left me sinking in ally ways and back streets
This wanting has never left me so dry
Yet the rain like waves crash upon me

You're a capsizing soul
With no one to call home
If I die out here in the city
What will you recall of me?

The calm before the storm
Left me sinking in ally ways and back streets
This wanting has never left me so dry
Yet the rain like waves crash upon me

Those eyes were the iris of the storm,
Deceptively beautiful hues.
What never sounded the alarm
was captivated by the allure of you.

Dusty rain waters my tendered soil
Rust and shine were never aligned
Hitting sobriety at the break
Where the sky takes me as its bate
Youre a capsizing soul

Will you see me for who I used to be
or the siren that deceived the night ever so softly?
