There was a girl
who sat all alone
made colors from dust
and darkness from gold

Nobody noticed her,
maybe they didn't care
to them, well,
she wasn't even there

Always alone,
never speaking a word
always drawing in dust
and making darkness from gold

Many say she's a freak
but me, I say she's talented,
maybe misunderstood
but that's not her problem

I say this because, this girl is me
The one i've hidden underneath
Who draws beauty from dust
and darkness from gold

Wasting away like a sunken ship,
I wait in the depth, but something's amiss.
I saw a figure, running faster and faster,
taking a dive, landing with ever present laughter.

I watch in awe, as they land on the ground
feeling it shake, in some sort of resound
to tell me they're there, reality and all
so that I may look, and see that it's true

As the waves crash onto shore,
I stand in the murky depths
watching them run and play
with all the others

I wonder what I'm doing here
alone, unlike anyone else
laughter ringing out louder than the crash of the waves
against rocks hidden by the sea spray

As I observe from my perch
on a rock in the sea
dragging my feet in the water
staring with raptor vision from afar

I look at the children playing, with a lost look in my eyes
I dive back down into the water, tears flowing from my eyes
as I sing, the sound reverberates
and the hum of a boat is heard , not too far away

I hear a sudden splash
and right before my eyes
I come face to face with a man
sinking to his demise

I sigh, an unearthly sound in the depths
marred by the sound of the waves above,
and the gurgling of the man below
why must they also come to me so?

They come for my voice, abandoning their post
But when they see me, they understand what will come
I know I'm a siren, at least that's what they call me
For the ghosts of the sailors, are my only company.

They can be strong
stronger than a thousand others
They can be a raging torrent
piercing right into your soul

When they look at you
they see you for who you are
instead of what you act like
or what you do

They are the true masters of emotions
feeling, but not letting their weakness show
You never know when to run
until it is too late

They can be loving
caring for others as if they were a family
but if you push them too much
one day you'll regret it

They are the wolf
they are a pure soul
they are the misjudged and misguided
And they rose above it all

They were lost
maybe still are
but they've found strength
in not falling to other's lies

They are everywhere
you just can't see them
Hidden underneath those of us
who have pushed them down

The wolf is strong though
stronger than them
so when the wolves break free
they bring a brand new day

It's not that hard
To hurt others.
When they've beaten
And broken you down.

When all you feel is pain
This sinking feeling sets
The fear, anger, pain
Life becomes a sin

Your life a bleak existence
Something nobody cares about
Because when you are drowning
They swim away
