SIREN from ATALAYA by ATALAYA

Delusional woman
A venomous snake
How could we make such a wondrous mistake?

The cat called the cradle a cold loving bitch
But I’m just a siren
Let’s say it for kicks

I won’t apologize
I won’t say yes
I won’t give in
Just handle your own damn mess

I’m not a martyr
I’m not crazy tonight
The day will come and I’m a woman, say less

Your dark twisted games
Tried to take my life away
I can’t go back
And I can’t be seen

The siren is here
What will she please?

Please eat my flesh
Please take my breath
I’m a disease

I will take yours
And I will be sure
To dance for the crown

Because the king is a dancer
He moves on his feet
Crowd down below him
The sky on the street

But she is a dancer
She moves to the beat
Sirens are warning
That skies are complete

Lies
Oh, beautiful lies
They consume me tonight
