Oh, be careful little mind what you believe
Convinced yourself that only you can see
It's the pride that starts to synchronize
With the lusting flesh that feeds you lies
Oh be careful little mind what you believe

Oh, be careful little tongue what you speak
Unwilling to repent of being weak
Doesn't count as satirical
If you believe what you say
Oh, be careful little tongue what you speak

You're the songbird that draws them in
Come and rest on the siren's bed
The doctor will be will you shortly
Don't look for the vampire that's under your bed

But word gets out it's the talk of the town
And you can't hide what they've found out
But you masquerade distorted lies
'Till you convince your distorted mind

The contrite contradiction pours
It cascades through every corridor
You say that you are sorry for
The pain that we all forced

Oh be careful little heart of what you dream
Lusting for a life that cannot be
The paradoxic epithet
Can never be attained
Oh be careful little heart of what you dream

The hippocratic hypocrite
Speaks again the false appeal
There's poison in your medicine
Your patients never heal

But word gets out it's the talk of the town
And you can't hide what they've found out
But you masquerade distorted lies
'Till you convince your distorted mind

The contrite contradiction pours
It cascades through every corridor
You say that you are sorry for
The pain that we all forced

Revoke the pride
That drives distortion that you speak
Rebuke your mind
Wrapped in self-deceit
Oh, be careful, of the life, you choose to lead

Oh, be careful of the man you choose to be

Dear Siren

Lyrics

Verse 1:
No apathetic apparitions to attend
No predestiny the lethargy of humanity invents
Controlled, complacent, scripted faces guided towards no end
Dispassionate estrangements in the wind

Fly high little apple of my eye
You were born with wings; don't let them die
Your dawn in breaking; the world is waiting for you to touch the sky
Go achieve greatness; it's time to take flight

Chorus 1:
Fly, fly high, make the embers touch the sky
From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus rising
Rise from the fire that forged you 1000 times
From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus rising

Verse 2:
No vicarious expectations to follow
Not victim to the vanities that vandalize tomorrow
Impelled, inspired, inching higher, diverging from the trend
Not afraid to reap the fruits we cannot sow

Fly high little phoenix of the morn
Brush off your falls; ignore the scorn
The past is not an albatross; your neck is unadorned
Go chase your something in a nothingness world

Chorus 2:
Fly, fly high, make the embers touch the sky
From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus rising
Rise from the fire that forged you 1000 times
From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus rising

Bridge:
With wings of wax, wax eloquent
'Till you melt the hearts of fallen men
Gazing up at the sunlight
Not afraid of the height
On winds he will fly

Chorus 3:
Fly, fly high, make the embers touch the sky
From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus rising
Rise from the fire that forged you 1000 times
From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus rising

From the ashes of the phoenix, Icarus...
Icarus...
