Sirens

Can you hear the sirens cry
 From across the water?
 For your blunders we bore the blame
 For all who splintered in our wicked wake
 You tied yourselves up on your masts
 Asked to take what's not been given
 Employ for your purpose, all that you find
 But we are waterborne, we are not your kind
 We've sacrificed our dreams in your lucid streams
 For your grander schemes, but we're leaving soon
 At the water's edge, for your sake we bled
 Tempting you, though empty to the bone
 Know that we are not grateful
 For your guidance and shelter
 On a stage of your design
 We stood beautiful and empty
 We would have traded your trials and fears
 For the freedom to sail off from here
 We've sacrificed our dreams in your lucid streams
 For your grander schemes, but we're leaving soon
 At the water's edge, for your sake we bled
 Tempting you, though empty to the bone
 Know that we are not grateful
 No more settled and faithful
 We will never be grateful
 Can you hear the sirens cry?
