[Verse 1]

Draw the shades and close my eyes (Never wanna see again)

I found the cost of courage high (Sometimes hard to pay)

I hear the song the sirens sing (Calling on the shore for me)

So sell your soul and try to fly (The tether still remains)

[Chorus]

And all the finer things they laid upon my table

Smile as their hooks were slowly sinkin' in

[Verse 2]

Another pill I'm to consume (To make me learn to feel again)

Is followed by another one (To make me lose the same)

God, if I could recognize (The things that make me whole again)

And draw this air into my lungs (Remember how to breathe)

[Chorus]

For as the curtain rose, I danced as I was able

Felt my deception slowly sinkin' in

[Verse 3]

So I turn to you, my love (For the solace that is there)

And offer any cherished thing (For a slight reprieve)

I hoped that you might find me here (And I could learn to smile again)

And as a balm for these wounds (Take away the sting)

[Chorus]

And as the band did play, your body I did cradle

I should have known that song would have to end
