Siren Song

I saw the poster with your picture on the front
As the forces of the so-called good begin the chase
You may be on that poster, but I know you couldn’t do it

I tried to get you out when the whole thing was my fault
But you insisted on staying behind and taking the blame
If only there were more people like you…

I am coming back for you
It’s the very least I can do

Let those red and blues sing you their siren song
Our footsteps leading us to hide as they flash by
Places to go, people to see, and a whole lot of running
Staying with each other as the day passes to night

Too many times have I turned away from danger
Such as this that now has you and I on the run
But the only place I will run is to find you first

Only then can we find salvation from this chase
In the form of all the quiet places where we hid
From the rest of the world when it hurt us…

If our emotions are criminal enough
To let the sparks fly even when times grow rough
It’s a good thing we were born to be tough

Let the siren song ring past as we hide away
Lost in our love and each other’s arms as they search
I promise I’m not going anywhere you wouldn’t be with me
When we fly away free as birds from their prison perch

I can hear the sounds of the search party following behind
Like a wildfire trailing behind the trail of gasoline
No need for more worry, just stay with me in this place to hide…

It figures it’s the last place they’d ever find you or me
The melody of the red-and-blue blares passing us by
This won’t be how it ends, as long as we don’t let them do so
Find someplace else, somewhere safer…where more sparks will fly…
