Quench

I hear your voice calling me, seducing me
to jump into the waters again
my body aches, restraining me, reminding me
every time i drown in my shame
I’m diving headlong
the current’s too strong
i knew it was wrong
i’ll end up washed up on the shore again
Won’t somebody, somebody, anybody
won’t somebody rescue me?
won’t somebody, somebody, anybody
won’t somebody rescue me
from the face i try to hide
when i fall undignified?
won’t somebody, somebody, anybody
won’t somebody rescue me?
I see the trap, red alert: the threat is there
i have a master and it’s not you
self confident, my will of steel, there’ll be no deal
but siren songs distort the truth
