Sirens

I count the time I've pissed away in hiding

And I count on finding solace in their song

But in pacing through these halls

Digging nails into the walls

I've grown tired of their prying eyes a-spyin'

They say the life you got is what you make it

But I've starved myself in comfort for too long

I'm invigored with a drive

A crusade to feel alive

So let's bounce before they wake up and they find me

Grab your bootstraps, boys, buckle up

And we out on the loose

You can't escape us! Nah, we c-c-comin' for ya

I got my two step, winning grin

My finger guns are ready to shoot

Ooh, wah, wah, wah, ooh, wah, wah-ooh-wah

I'm gonna dance all night

I got a hankerin' to shake off some blues

You done a bunk, we'll get you, boo

At first I find the atmosphere delicious

As I join them in their jaunty jamboree

Then a crack and I can hear

The neurotic itching fear

Of the amplifying dissonance behind me

They say you oughta dance like no one's watching

They're a telepathic chorus in my mind

With their laser guided eyes

Firing leers as sharp as knives

A pariah gone awry, ah, just come find me

Strap my boots down, girls, buckle up

And I'm back in the noose

You can't escape it! Nah, we g-g-gotcha, gotcha!

Yeah, I feel your cold grip, chilling grin

Bringing tons of nothing to lose, ha, ha, ha, bring me, yeah

Ooh, wah, wah, wah, ooh, wah, wah-ooh-wah

I've had enough limelight

Oh, won't you tuck me in and sing me the blues

Welcome home, we missed you

Sing me sweetly to my doom

And I know there's no escaping

I'll wait it out

I'm the one on the line here

So I'm getting my fill

And if you had just what I need

I wouldn't want it now

Brother, sister, please don't shame me

Silence so loud

But I promise I'm fine here

I'm just getting my fill

And if you had just what I need

I wouldn't want it now

But I need it now

And I know there's no escaping

I can't hold out

I don't know that I'm fine here

But I'm getting my fill

And if you had just what I need

I think I want it now

This ain't how my mama raised me

Silence so loud

But I'm out of time

They're coming in for the kill

Say that you got just what I want

Because I need it

Gimme all you got

Because if not

They're gonna drown me out
