Siren s Empty Promise

Hush...
Do you hear it?
She thinks we don't know.
She thinks hunger can be hidden behind velvet notes.
Ha... Such naivety.


You lay out notes like silks across the filthy floor,
Promising paradise where every table’s set.
But I see the scars upon your jagged rocks,
I know the taste of water where the fleets have met.
Your scales, they shine like counterfeit coins,
In your eyes—just the reflection of my distress.
You lure into the deep, but you don’t live down there,
You’re just the warden of a cold, watery mess.


Enough!
Don’t pour this sweet venom in my ears!
I’ve seen the ones who listened.
They are silent.
They lie at the bottom!


Siren's empty promise!
A beautiful lie framed in sea-foam.
You gift the air only to steal it back,
You teach us how to swim just to drown us black!
This isn't a song, it is a decree,
Between us lies only the abyss and the sea.
Empty promise...
Ringing. Void.


You say: "Come to me, there are no storms here."
But the storm is you, and you are inside my chest!
I carved out my heart to silence the call,
I torched the sails while the sun was at its best!
Don’t look at me like I’m your fresh prey,
I’m scrap metal, rusted, old, and grim.
Your voice has shattered against my shoal,
I am the one who survived. I am the one who won't swim!


Are you crying? Or is it just brine?
Are you raging? I can feel the sting...
Your magic melts when there is no fear left.
Look at me.
(Voice rising to a scream)
LOOK AT ME!
I AM YOUR LAST SUNRISE!



Siren's empty promise!
Walls are broken, veins are open!
You gift the air only to steal it back,
But I am here to take it all from your track!
Your throne of silt, your crown of gloom,
We are no longer prisoners of this tomb!


Sing...
Sing for the fish.
Sing for the stones.
And I...
I am leaving.
