The Siren Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1: manCHILD] She's hell on cassette but she's heaven on the microphone/ I'm full grown distain for pleasures, pain, fire and rain/ Try the same blessed methods where the walk and mountains are blamed/ And playing a flashing neon sign so the world can learn the name/ Take the bad moonrise in her eyes and ???? with color/ Silently screaming, believing heightened senses hold the key/ Battling uprisings, move the tide, take a smile at Poseidon/ A cracked glass at my bedside, take a sip at lonely midnight/ Sit tight, there's a surprise or two around that blind mans curve/ Katty corner to omnipotent, she bellows "she's got some nerve"/ "Do not disturb" is scrawled across my pair of sleeping eyelids/ I would have rocked the party, but they told me I wasn't invited/ A cross-bred hybrid, bearing cross talk and minds bent/ Been known to enjoy a little too much poetic license/ Assigning mornings, a thorn in your side, 9 to 5/ Then clock out as that pebble in your shoe, how do you do/ Yeah, you know me, I'm the process, you got addicted to me slowly/ I'm a means to end in sight, how about that gratitude you owe me/ Row the boat, or let it crash upon the rocks until it's gone/ The siren does karaoke and she knows your favorite song, so sing along [Verse 2: Jax] Isn't it funny how the closer you get to goals being reached/ The sweet sound of the siren breaches/ And pulls at the most finely tuned strings of the souls controller/ Just that longer ride wrote that secret code is cracked/ Pressing the buttons is a session, the left right, start with a selection/ To play this game that we call life, some are lulled by the lullaby/ Contemplating suicide or knife slices/ Yo, there's been times where my eyes cry/ Because I've fell victim to the vixens voice/ The choice is made where we meditated wrong/ But my guilt became soothed by the sirens song/ It's like a melody manipulates my every move/ Her omnipotence makes it hard for me to show her proof/ Actions accommodate to the ways that the waves crash/ That the bravest couldn't navigate for the passing fears/ So dance to a tune of ruins/ Seductive, when the two are combined, it equals nonproductive/ Direction, please, focus your perception/ And listen to your heart, that's how you scramble her reception [Verse 3: manCHILD] It's the walk of shame, blind drunken stupor/ I'm stumbling over blood alcohol level, shadowboxing with the future/ Rocking two for one techniques, you forgot to stop and think/ About the direction of your next 12 steps, headed towards perfection/ One foot in front of the last, passerby grabbed a picture/ But she's standing by the cliff and she's gripping a fifth of liquor/ This sister sipping your soul, slipping visions that she offered/ Listen close to what she's spitting, you're fishing in troubled waters/ But she intrigues me still, I don't want her song to stop/ That's why thousands here before me drifted slowly to the rocks/ She knows just what we've got and she can see the way I felt/ How to try to change the world but nobody wanted to help/ So i stand face to face with the time that I can't waste/ About to put a dent in the side of the antichrists fan base/ Dig in with my heels, work the field, and change the landscape/ Make naysayers eat their words and choke upon their bland tapes/ Fan blades turns man everywhere to slaves/ Understand greatness and humility and patience and denial/ But she's hell on the record and she's heaven on the airwaves/ Next time you hear the siren, change the station on the dial
