lyrics

Sirens
I’ve found comfort in the arms of the sirens
I’m the sultan of their island
I enjoy the masquerade

But getting laid with mermaids
Will never fill the void you made
When you left me, I’m afraid
I tend to overcompensate
But the truth is that these ocean creatures
All have the same problem
They aren’t you

Sirens, Sirens
I got sirens
As girlfriends
But none of them is quite like you
I got sirens
As girlfriends
But none of them is quite like you
No one else is quite like you

Sirens
They can feel my emptiness, I am silence
I disappear eight times a week
With those fleeting escapades

But getting laid with mermaids
Will never fill the void you made
When you left me, I’m afraid
I tend to overcompensate
There’s plenty of fish in the sea but there’s only one I want to be with
And they aren’t you

Sirens, Sirens
I got sirens
As girlfriends
But none of them is quite like you
I got sirens
As girlfriends
But none of them is quite like you
Sirens, Sirens

I failed with origami
I now practice polygamy
I’m single and free
And I enjoy the company
But I still feel so lonely

I won’t find another girl
Who will make me feel like you do
I drift, I go with the flow
And I'm slowly letting you go
I won’t find another girl
Who will make me feel like you do
I drift, I go with the flow
And I'm slowly letting you go
Go!

Oh no one else is quite like you
I got sirens
As girlfriends
But none of them is quite like you
I know
I know
No one else is quite like you
I got sirens
As girlfriends
But none of them is quite like you
