"Siren" lyrics

"Siren"

Your love's on a sea that you sailed on
Now it's cold and rough where you are
It's a harsh wind blowing, but I did not call this storm you see
I've just been here, open arms, inviting thee
I've been alone on the sea for so long
I wanted to touch, I had feel love
Before these waves took me under

But Aiden, you came to me in the dark, in the dark
And as a gentle as a siren can be
I caught you and I held you down
If the pink light of morning would wash all the demons out of here
I could lie down on your ground and pull my body near
But the knots in my stomach are telling
There's nowhere to rest, there's no place to go
The shadows, they keep on with their shanty song

It's the darkest horse that's chasing me down
And the Gods here have no care of where you go when you drown
I've been mistaken for something I'm not
For something I wished I could be
Pretty and fine, I draw the line just singing soothingly
But I've been a liar, I have been ugly, I can be ugly

Enjoying the adventure in the morning sky
Singing ha-hoo-ha-la
Enjoying the adventure in the morning sky
Singing ha-hoo-ha-la
Enjoying the adventure in the morning sky
Singing ha-hoo-ha-la
Enjoying the adventure in the morning sky
Singing ha-hoo-ha-la
