The sirens will play
Blood on the highway
Such hazardous parts:
Our menacing hearts

Reason was blinded
Lust hadn't minded
So hopelessly vexed:
We dreaded what's next

Our schemes were derailed
We tried and we failed
She lives by my pen:
Destroyer of Men

Our schemes had begun
My demons had fun
So surely, I find:
I'm losing my mind

In dreams, she appears
I'm plagued by my fears
In silence, we flee:
Regret, death, and me

So solemn and crossed
I'm helplessly lost
Where once she had fled:
She's trapped in my head...

sgail
i have a screech owl in my ear
on midwest backroads
with the german shepherds chasing me
where we last drove
your mother's white pontiac

your hand on my upper leg  
you would deny any of that

you hold me by the neck
at the edge of the world  
my gut feels like I left it back in Ohio

you leave me there
at the edge of the world

I wish
her scars were on my heart
and not on her arms.
