SIRENS AND SAILORS LYRICS

1. The Crown Gallow

The way she smells, it's addicting.
I want her, but she won't ever have me.
So I'll wait until she sleeps.
Demonize her dreams.
In the garden, there are secrets left
To be untold. She's ice cold.
And I'm his wanted man,
So I will take my leave and never
Come back to this evil place again.
We've all done it, we're so quick to judge.
The king calls, and I'm his wanted man
So I return from leave and come right
Back to this evil place again.
I fall, knees to soil.
Here I am again in this city of lust and sin.
All hail, he is dead.
His final breath, then off with his head.

2. Scylla, Condemned

Somewhere in this vast ocean
She stands in utter misery with
1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 heads and 12 feet.
Oh no !
All hands to deck, I'm afraid we're going down.
Scylla please !
You've made enough wives to widows
And enough men into meat.
I'm sure you could just spare me and my ship.
Can we mend your broken heart to ever love them again ?

3. Cattle Skulls & Shotgun Shells

My damsel,
It's been months.
Since I've talked to you,
Or seen your face.
My palates gone dry
And sand encrusts both of my eyes.
And I'm surrounded by
Hell Yeah !
Cattle skulls & shotgun shells.
I bet you thought I was dead.
The ghost of me lingering in your head. Haha !
The ghost of me, forever lingering around.
You'll be sorry when I'm back in town.
The stars will guide me home
Where they know I'm coming for you.
I want you dead, not alive.
I want to bury you by his side.
I want insects to crawl through your eyes
And stare you in the face as you cry,
"Please don't end me !"
Leaving you like you left me,
Surrounded by cattle skulls & shotgun shells.

4. His Spare Time

Is there a clean conscience in this room ?
Because I just can't get over the way she grooves.
Cheap bright red lipstick and bitter sweet perfume.
I'd go through hell for you, and only for you.
Just don't put your lips on the collar of this shirt.
Pay for pleasure.
We that wear ties, lead lives that are full of lies.
Everything I ever gave you, was anything that you needed.
And whatever I saw in you, was never something I believed in.
Diamonds sparkle.
It keeps your mouth shut.
Why do I pay for pleasure ?
My heart pumps lust, not love.
This is the diary of a well dressed rich man.

5. Sink To Sleep

I came, I saw, I've conquered.
Bit more than one could chew.
I hear the land conspire,
Betrayed by all of you.
But I'll rise, I'll rise again.
And the cowards be, the ones who flee off.
Now that the tables have turned,
Things go from good to getting worse.
Does love really fade with time ?
Or does temptation just get in the way.
Am I sinking, drowning to her only song ?
I know I didn't deserve this, but I put it upon myself.
Don't deceive me, I know it won't be long before you're gone.
What is this place I've come to ? Is it real? Am I dreaming ?
Make believing I'm not seeing.
I wasn't seeing what my eyes had placed in front of me.
Is this just a mirage of feeling ?
We should have never listened to notes that left their lying lips.
Now we are stuck with visions of life before its sudden end.
As the ocean sinks me to sleep.
Lately I've been thinking about us,
And the way you took everything away from me.
I should have known to steer clear of liars, liars.
