Sirens (Demo 4) Lyrics

[Post-Chorus]
Let them drown (Drown)
Let them drown (Drown)
Let them drown (Drown, drown)

[Verse 2]
Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress
Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess
They steal the resources, destroy all the land
Belittle the power of the feminine hand


[Pre-Chorus]
The milk from the rivers of every moon
Cradle you tight like you’re back in the womb
Bury their souls in a cove by the light
Celestial dip all that ego and pride

[Chorus]
Drink from the leche of sirens
Summon the sailors in town
Strangle the fear of deciding
Which ones deserving to drown

[Post-Chorus]
Let them drown (Drown)
Let them drown (Drown)
Let them drown (Drown, drown)

[Bridge]
Nothing wrong with a little havoc
It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut 'em off, leave waters red
Nothing wrong with a little havoc
It’s fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut 'em off, leave water's red
Nothing wrong with a little havoc
It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut 'em off, leave water's red
Nothing wrong with a little havoc
It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting
Cut 'em off, leave water’s red

[Chorus]
Drink from the leche of sirens
Summon the sailors in town
Strangle the fear of deciding
Which ones deserving to drown
Don’t feel bad when these fuckers all drown
