Creeping Weeds - Sirens lyrics

Sailed off on a course to dream your life away Swept up by the waves to ?oat along each day And though they've tried their best to ?ll you up With what was left inside their golden cup It just didn't take And your boat's not the worst but you're sure it's not the best And it's hard to fail if you never take the test So you ?nd it's best to pa** the time Within the harbors of the salty brine That ?ows through your brain To live on the ocean or die along the bay (you think it's safer on the ocean but it's not) To give up the ghost or not well who's to say (seems you're closer to your destination but you're not) and though they'll try to hold the voyage up (it's so far) With the distraction they'll call growing up (it's so hard) You know you're still safe... Out on the waves Along the shore they stand Calling me back to land Feels like you've failed in your quest as you drift back toward the surf They sing from the shore that the time has come to berth And in the distance grows a tiny light Beyond the waves so you follow it through the night In the hopes you'll be safe I?m headed for land Though I like this ocean view It?s high time I followed suit I gave up command the waves split my boat in two And washed me ashore to stew I?m beached on the sand Hands wet with the morning dew And stranded without a crew By the light of the moon I croon The sea spits out one more salty tune
