Lyrics to The Siren's Song

Lyrics to The Siren's Song

A Poem by Ciara Di Salle

Vanity,

Loneliness and rugged duct tape holding me together,

Keeping me from falling a part, falling to pieces, but

The adhesive wears thin and

Holds less with

Every time I am

Ripped to

Shreds

 

Falling into the arms of another

All to early with the gentle breeze

Of isolation. Absent-mindedly searching

For companionship only to be

Let down-

And

Again

And

Again

And

Expecting it now

Waiting

Patiently for every fall out

Taking a wide bite out of hope one

Beautiful disaster at a time.

I fear it will leave only the smallest crumb,

Only to be gobbled up by the beast of

Desperation.

Everyone

Smiles

Everyone

Leaves

I try now to enjoy the time in-between

The grins and departures

And take the remains for what meager joy they brought about-

I’ll moan no more.

Thanks I appreciate it!
I liked this, it reminded me of Iron Maiden, not sure why but it had the edge of metal to it.

I'm a bit of a metal head myself so that could be it :P
This gives a special flavor.
Love this line-it is awesome:
"I’ll moan no more"
