Sirens
Rushed by my salty tears
I opened my arms for handsome men
Perfected my craft for years
Still failed to be like them
I never felt at home
Flowery, I brushed
Brushed my long black hair
I waited for the perfect sailor
Always working on my form
There's a part of me
And I don't know why
Staying still is harder than it seems
On Rocky grounds I performed
I bared my breasts through it all
My mother told me
I could be prettier
So on
Rocky grounds I danced
I heaved my chest through the cold
I sang poetry
Sang Mozart's melodies
I was groomed
She told me to wait and wait for a groom
So I controlled the weather
A geological stunner
I sang and sang
Waited for my perfect sailor
Rushed by my salty tears
We dreamed away, away our fears
Rushed by my salty tears
We fell and dreamed away our fears
And there you were
We locked eyes on the waters
I'm no good at phoney desires
Your tender eyes, effortlessly go my my my
I wished you were mine
How I wished you were mine
I do not believe you
Heaven is where I could see you
And I'll pick you up, believe it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
I do not believe you
Heaven is where I could see you
And I'll pick you up, believe it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
I like to dance
The night, when I see you alone
I like to dance in the night
When I see you alone
And you do not believe it
Heaven is a sin I'll see it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
I do not believe you
Heaven is where I could see you
And I'll pick you up, believe it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
And I'll pick you up, believe it
