Words on Wednesday: "The Sirens."

I like the juxtaposition in this song. Word of the day achieved!
The Sirens

Verse
My baby falls a long way down;
She wants me to join her soon,
But she never touches the ground,
And her words split like shadows on the moon.

Breaking on the dirt,
The light gives a moment's worth,
Of all that's wrong in our hearts.

Chorus
To my left there's an angel beside me;
To my right there's a devil within.
I've long confused which offers me hope,
And I've forgotten which one offers me sin.
What if all I've known of love
Is a song that the Sirens sing.
And what if my devil has
Angel wings.

Verse
My baby falls a long way down.
So I fall while I can,
But we never touch the ground.
We disappear like the sound that nobody hears.

Bouncing off the walls,
A blistered heaven falls
To fill the space in our hearts.

Chorus
To my left there's an angel beside me;
To my right there's a devil within.
I've long confused which offers me hope,
And I've forgotten which one offers me sin.
What if all I've known of love
Is a song that the Sirens sing.
And what if my devil has
Angel wings.

Outro
My baby falls a long way.
My baby falls a long way.
My baby falls a long way.
My baby falls a long way
Down.

  1. I really like that! You should post a video of you singing it. I'd like to know what it sounds like.
