"Siren sleeping"
:[ lyrics ]:
I didn’t want to love you
I tried my hardest not to
It’s a dream I’ll cling to
to be closer to you
You never try to see
that what you want of me
is someone I can’t ever be
but for the clouds that shadow me

I could dream your dreams with you
I would fight your fears for you
and be someone to watch over you
when you’re sleeping
Should I wake a siren sleeping?
see my reflection in the pool
Should I steal a dream I’m keeping?
or remain a distant fool

A sister mother to surrogate brother
just out of sight yet never a lover
not to touch and yet to see
becomes the life and death of me
Medusa or Eve
the betrayed or the betrayer
contrived or conceived
the beloved or the lover
and yet the bitter taste of pity
leaves me empty and alone
and the fragile tears of humility
fall like beads of precious stone

Should I wake a siren sleeping?
see my reflections in the pool
Should I steal a dream I’m keeping?
or remain a distant fool
Should I wake a siren sleeping?
become imprisoned by her dreams
only to drown in the love I’m keeping
and tear apart the fragile seams

Should I wake a siren sleeping?
see my reflections in the pool
Should I steal a dream I’m keeping?
or remain a distant fool
Should I wake a siren sleeping?
become imprisoned by her dreams
only to drown in the love I’m keeping
and tear apart the fragile seams

I would touch your soul
and when your sky turns blue
I’ll be there to watch over you
when the wind changes
it blows cold like a siren sleeping
