Dark Siren

I don’t chase, I call

And you crawl through the dark just to find me

There’s a cold in your ribs

Like the moment before you stop fighting

I’m the whisper in your bones, I’m the shadow in your blood

You swear you came here freely

But baby… nothing pure ever does

I glow in the dark when someone speaks my name

You get closer without thinking

Like you’re begging for the flame

I’m the song beneath your skin

Sweet decay on every limb

Every heartbeat pulls you in

You’re drowning, but you’re dying to give in

I don’t take your breath away

You offer it so willingly

Let the water fill your lungs

Fall in deep, eternally

Pretty poison, saltwater

On my lips as I whisper your ending

You swear you’re hunting me

But you stepped in the trap I was setting

Be careful what you crave, some things bite back slow

I pull you under gently

Just to see how far you’d go

You think this is a choice, but darling, listen close

It isn’t love you’re breathing

It’s my name inside your throat

I’m the song beneath your skin

Sweet decay on every limb

Every heartbeat pulls you in

You’re drowning, but you’re dying to give in

I don’t take your breath away

You give it up so easily

Let the water fill your lungs

Fall in deep, eternally

I’m the shadow in your veins

I’m the quiet killing pain

I’m the tide you try to fight

Pulling you from every side

I’m the salt inside your lungs

I’m the truth you can’t outrun

Close your eyes and let it start

I’m already in your heart

I don’t chase, I call

And you fall like you’re made for the ending

Kiss the surface one last time

Then come down where the dark is cold… and forgiving
