I thought of writing you a song
In a tired repetition
Of the words I meant to sing you all along
But never did.
I have some great appreciation
For lunar tides and roses
And my hea...Read Full Lyrics
Artist - After the Sirens
When I wake up on fire
And get caught in the sheets,
My dreams of safety hit the floor.
I've heard the air raid too many times before
To be bothered by the bombs.
And you ask me w...Read Full Lyrics
Artist - After the Sirens
I can't be expected
To hold this up.
You're spinning tops
And when they drop,
Am I responsible?
Is what you're telling me?
Well I'll give my money
If they ask me,

And all the perfume passes from hands to tapered glasses,

Just to sullenly let swing
The best of arbitrary things,

But haven't I been waiting?
Haven't I been getting up from falling dreams
And slipping on the frozen streams I build my tower...Read Full Lyrics
Artist - After the Sirens
I have been both lover and beloved, unrequited
Dispassionate and quiet around you.
And when I am old, when the skin under my eyes
Stretches to wrap around the things I've seen,

Your words were salubrious
Your eyes were always warming
Your love was perennial
Your heart was always growing
The day the light escaped your eyes
I wish I'd been by your side
