lyrics

(Show me the way to go home, I’m tired and I want to go to bed.)

From your birth, till you’re dust.
just buying into a dim light.
And this is the prism reflecting the surplus
to get you blacking out in the ringing of dissonant notes.
And I appear stuck in my head but I’m dreaming.
You lost sight, but my stay was overdue.
That’s the difference. I’m done.

And these waves will break
till you’re in the undertow of trends.
And I’m the wake fashioning them.

(You can always hear me singing a song.)

The harps of sirens have been calling you.

I’ll fix my sight on your front lines.
I’m not burning out cause you left this town with your
bloodline in the coal mines, to flatline in the coal mines.
Revived and I’ve been scaling ivory towers to sharpen my thorns.

And your gardens will be overwhelmed!
and the light that I carry will be found!
I left it to the stars I’m reflecting
when all I had was the flare of last wish, hardly breaching the darkness.

I’ll fix my sight on your front lines.
I’m not burning out cause you left this town with your
bloodline in the coal mines, to flatline in the coal mines.
Revived and I’ve been scaling ivory towers to sharpen my thorns.

I left it to the stars!
Oh, the stars

So take a breath, and promise me love, you’ll swim until we can’t,
and forget all the fear that we hold.
I’m not blinded by the light where we’re going
cause I know the harps of sirens play out of tune.
So prepare to send the fight where I’m going (where I’m going).
I ain’t hiding.

(Mr Simmons went in swimming early one summer morn, he took a dip and she began to shout.)
