Unhook yourself
Another lure is hollowing out
A blank slate in the shape
Of your mind
Sirens will call you again
When the radio’s off
Feel their humming
Harpooned in your ribs
Relax
Things are good
But who knows
When their harmonizing will draw the rope?
Avoiding the poison
Is good enough for you
For now
Learn something new
You’re in your prime
When tongues will tie
But overnight, you’ll forget it
Cause in your own mind
The thoughts are all nice and so clever, right?
Your sirens are
The swell and crest
That crash to fill your empty chest
Calm as it demolishes
You feel yourself
Dissolve into the depths
The waves help to rinse
Your fingerprints will melt
Into the belt
Until your body can flood
The body it’s in
