lyrics

There's a whisper and a shotgun lying in bed
So wrap your heart up in your sheets and surrender the dead
Nine muses sing follow me
To where freedom is a curse and sleep is a gift

You want to wake up where waves turn the salt into sand
Where the moon touches the ocean and dies in your hands
The Siren's daughters agree
The tides, your tears, and the sea

But that is trick
And you want to know what to believe
Believe this is the best of all times
And time is just as good as it gets
I'll give into you straight lines

It's my one best guess what makes me tick
It's my one best guess, my mother's gift
It's my one... life
It's my one...

But it's probably a trick
And you want to know how to feel
Feel for every peace you can find
Because fine is good enough for me
And you want to know what to believe
Believe this is the best of all times
When there's nothing left to regret
I'll give into you straight lines

Tie my hands tightly, leaves and vines
Bind the spring until the minutes unwind
Out of sequence, anti-clockwise
Unafraid, I finally made up my mind

It's my one best guess
It's my one best guess
As good as it gets
