Whispers Of A Silent Siren


And I would have followed you into the depths So long as you would have kept me singing

Those sweet lullabies that only I could hear

Don't you see?

That you don't need to keep your oath of silence any longer?

Let the world know

Because what lies in here

Is only for you to hear

Whatever happened to honesty is the best policy?

When even your sympathy shared a second glance

How did you expect me to wait forever for an insomniac’s endless daydream?

Can’t you see that I’m not dead (I just never stopped dreaming)

A thousand melodies from memory, each one's not the same

If only they never landed on deaf ears
