Sirens

Oh listen, the world is awake

I dreamt a dream on a white shore
Of the marble steps I saw you once before

You assuaged fears I brought myself
Of them, a whole section on my bookshelf

I don't know how Joan of Arc felt

Because imitation's boring

I failed your love while I always got out of line
I always felt I didn't have the time
   I gave you the whole nine

        While I sipped on your lilac wine
You gave me your heart while I played you with mine
I donned a shadow on your time to shine

Ego's palpable on the one above

Destroy character to create the human
Bigmouth should shut up and be disposed of

Make way for the new, the improved, the lily to bloom in

Well, heart's at peace with evil and all within

Always somewhere,
