lyrics

One by one, they came
A choir of liars turned insane
Desire squeezes reason from your brain

Water in their socks
Crashed their boats into cliffs and rocks
And left their sons and daughters in the rain

And when they heard the sirens' song
They couldn't help but sing along
Singing all night long like they're doing nothing wrong

And when the cops came and hunted them down
They couldn't believe it
'Cause in the dark forest where they were found
There's nobody grieving
Where'd the call come from?

Up and gone away
You're never gonna find me yesterday
I told you put that camera away

The creek runs cold today
Running through tunnels to get away
Karaoke at the carnival on Main

And when I heard the sirens' song
I couldn't bear to sing along
I was terrified just hearing it was doing something wrong

And when the cops came and hunted me down
I couldn't believe it
'Cause in the dark forest where I was found
There's nobody leaving
There's only me

Odysseus was wise to turn away Parthenope
So I cut off my ears for anybody who can sing
Been waiting 20 years for my reward for drifting
And now I'm waiting on my confidence to wander back to me

We live a million lives, but only one that we can see
Somewhere I'm your neighbor, I can help you if you need
I'll be in my backyard, slowly raking up the leaves
Bag 'em up and tie 'em off and leave 'em by the street

And when the cops came and hunted me down
I couldn't believe it
'Cause in the dark forest where I was found
There's nobody breathing
There's only me
