Let the sirens sing

Tonight is not remarkable
tonight won't ever matter again

Tomorrow I will see you for the first
and final time
My heart will ache and I'll soothe
its soft cries
With the hard-won knowledge I have found.

But before reason and sense overrule me
I will wade into this wide ocean first

Let its currents try to drown me with
Hope and Despair
Let its waves crush me with Promise
and Disappointment
Let me gulp down the salt and praise
my swift end.

Once more into the Deep, Dark Below
One more time being a fool who cannot see

I know the way to that Sunken City so well
In it rests so much that used to be me

Tonight I drink in the cold, let it wash through me
Until almost my heart beats no more,
and I can utter my last cry
Then the day will come, and I will climb out
of the sea, hopeless

The only trouble is how much I'd like to
Run up the cliffs and jump back in to end it all

Let the sirens sing that I drink deeply of the swell
