The Siren and the Sailor

[Verse 1] Will the siren listen to another one sing?... Does the sailor's song mean anything? When he asks if you're listening... are you hearing the words? Or only waiting for your own song to return? I heard you through the water. I heard you through the fear. But now that I'm singing back... Can you hear me from here? [Pre-Chorus] Can you see beyond the sea? Beyond what we were told we'd be? Could you ever want something different... Something like me? [Chorus] Not the same. Not apart. Something similar with an opposite heart. Two reflections on opposite sides, Turning the mirror until neither can hide. You were the siren. I was the sea. You sang your truth... And it awakened me. But now I'm singing— Will you listen to me? [Verse 2] What if everything we learned was only half of what could be? What if every opposition was another similarity? A parallel running backward, still somehow running beside... Two impossible directions meeting somewhere in the tide. Maybe you were never the monster. Maybe I was never your prey. Maybe we were two frightened voices singing the same fear in opposite ways. [Bridge] You taught me how to listen. I learned beneath your song. I heard the beauty. I heard the fear. I heard where both belonged. So I don't ask you to stop singing. I don't ask you to become me. I'm only asking... Can the siren hear the sailor when he sings across the sea? [Final Chorus] Will the siren listen to another one sing? Does the sailor's voice mean anything? Can you look beyond the water... Beyond who we were supposed to be? Similarity and opposition— an impossible symmetry. You and me... Two sides twisting everything we were taught to see. And beyond everything... Beyond the fear of what could be... Maybe the impossible was only impossible because neither one believed the other was listening.
