Openwhyd: The community of music lovers

i am a liar by nature
the cause of shipwreck
like the song of the sirens
luring you to sin with my witchcraft

i kissed your eyes
and framed your teeth
as you crawl back into the sea
oh, anyone could kill me
and i'd never ever let it be you

and so i succumb to cinnamon, sweat, and rum
laughing with stars in your eyes and your hair undone
and i pray one day our stars align
so i might hold you one more time
and succumb to cinnamon, sweat, and rum

tell me how
it's better when the sun goes down
we will never escape this town
i wasn't scared when he caught me
look what it taught me

the sickly sweetness is crushing me
but i want to know
if there's no heat when i escalate the fire is cold
they echo: this could all be yours

then i'm back in that dream
and i'm running forever
i'll wake up with your hands on my lungs
for the rest of my life

will you take this dagger from me sweet sister
don't linger
come on into the water
'cause our blood runs deeper
and i miss you

i called to the ocean side
i came to the water's edge
i'm sinking down to where the lights gone out.
i'll purge what's hidden inside
