|
draw the shades and close my eyes |
|
I never want to see again |
|
I found the cost of courage high |
|
Sometimes hard to pay |
|
I hear the songs the sirens sing |
|
Calling on the shore for me |
|
So sell your soul and try to fly |
|
The tether still remains |
|
And all the finer things they laid upon my table |
|
Smiled as thier hooks were slowly sinking in |
|
Another pill i'm to consume |
|
To make me leran to fell again |
|
Is followed by another one |
|
To make me loose the same |
|
God if i could recognize |
|
The things to make me whole again |
|
And draw this air into my lungs |
|
Remember how to breathe |
|
For as the curtain rose i danced as i was able |
|
Felt my deception slowly sinking in |
|
And so i turn to you my love |
|
For the solace that is there |
|
And offer any cherished thing |
|
For a slight reprieve |
|
I hoped that you might find me here |
|
And i could learn to smile again |
|
And as a balm for these wounds |
|
Take away the sting |
|
And as the band did play your body i did cradle |
|
I should have known that song would have to end |
