sometimes I feel like I should not open my mouth who cares what I have to say what if I speak and you don't understand what I have to say you are louder you are prouder you articulate I'll walk away from what I have to say

Walk Alone 03:00
It's your fault What you did to me And all the shit that happened after that In the aftermath Manipulated, my legs were coiled on the ropes that we swung on as kids I couldn't break free So, I lied to hide the twisted truth I attacked to defend my youth (Walk alone through a pitch black year) I was nineteen before I found my feet (Walk alone to find your feet) I walked alone I lost two best friends that night Such a storm of terrible decisions Pulled the rug from under my heart On a park bench swallowed by stars The same song, 12 hours on repeat Say what you need to say But it would always have been too late (Walk alone through a pitch black year) I was nineteen before I found my feet (Walk alone to find your feet) I walked alone (Walk alone through a pitch black year) I was nineteen before I found my feet (Walk alone to find your feet) I walked alone My body was your ammo But our lips never touched My body was your ammo But our lips never touched Would you believe it? If I told you the truth? You didn't know my strength When you killed it.

In or Out 03:01
Shouting from the rooftops Why won't you let me in? Tell me over and over You've never been happier Slip away You drift far from earth Slip away It's ok to not be ok For clarity, do you hear anything I say? To be a fly on the wall of your day to day Are you in or out this conversation? It seems you're in another dimension It shouldn't be this hard to stay in touch and I tell myself you must be so busy Doing God knows what It's so heavy in the silence between There's nothing wrong Why can't we speak normally? For clarity, you are not my therapist Are you in or out this conversation? It seems you're in another dimension Can you be present, be here with me? Can you be present, be here with me? Can you be present, be here with me? Can you be present, be here with me? Can you be present, be here with me? Can you be present, be here with me? Be here with me Are you in or out this conversation? It seems you're in another dimension

Chrysalis 02:50
float away in my chrysalis I was born for metamorphosis I'm wrapped up in somebody else's ideals this is no way to exist England wasn't filled with my fibres there's nothing here begging me to stay as the rain falls harder people sink lower I want to see how far I can swim breaking out of my chrysalis I'm so ready for metamorphosis I'm wrapped up in somebody's else's shit what a way to exist one day I'm going to live In a space in which I fill turn a new page everyday a book of conversations with which I want to engage the voice I hear is not my tone the words don't harmonise with my own
5.
Here You Are 04:50
I saw your face I could illustrate that smile from memory I saw your eyes With their kindness blind I felt your warmth in my hands I could’ve sworn you were fabricated My imaginary friend I could’ve sworn you were fabricated A character I made up for my health But here you are Here you are I heard your voice in a glass roofed dock and stopped and stared for a while Have I known you from some place before? Another realm, another life cycle? I could’ve sworn you were fabricated My imaginary friend I could’ve sworn you were fabricated A character I made up for my health But here you are Here you are You’re standing right in front of me Saying everything I want to hear I so badly want to believe in you Sitting straight across from me Saying everything I want to hear I need to believe in you ‘Cause here you are Here you are Someone’s watching over me Looking out for me beyond belief Am I as lucky as one can be? Making fantasies reality Here you are Here you are Here you are Here you are
6.
Unfurl 03:18
I called you out couldn't wait any longer for you to grow up I called you out so sick of explaining why you act the way you do I told you to go but when will I come back to me now? I told you to go when will I come back to me now you put me down had to seize the upperhand and knock me back down to earth we are broken our time is done I abandoned ship and I don't regret I told you to go but when will I come back to me now? I told you to go when will I come back to me now how the tables have turned when we're not talking and my thoughts they unfurl and if I lose myself in this dying light I know I will unfurl I told you to go when will I come back to me now I told you to go when will I come back to me now credits

Demon & I 04:20
Forgive me, Father If it’s a sin Valentine’s weekend Commencing nun-mode Slide, power off Nowhere to go No one to touch No one to hold I like a drop and tell me, what else have we got anymore? Anymore I restrain my body, retrain my mind But your taste remains the same I restrain my body, retrain my mind We won’t apologise My demon and I In this city of vices In which we choose to live I could be sliding black ice I could be falling on my face But no, I keep myself warm I keep my cheeks dry I’m happy tonight With my demon and I I restrain my body, retrain my mind But your taste remains the same I restrain my body, retrain my mind We won’t apologise My demon and I Feel your frequencies everywhere You’re everywhere to me How I’m infatuated with your memory We won’t be meeting again I feel your frequencies everywhere You’re everywhere to me I feel your frequencies everywhere You’re everywhere Abandon the daydream We won’t be meeting again I restrain my body, retrain my mind But your taste remains the same I restrain my body, retrain my mind We won’t apologise My demon and I I restrain my body, retrain my mind But your taste remains the same I restrain my body, retrain my mind We won’t apologise My demon and I

about

During lockdown, with endless time to reflect on relationships gained and lost, Sirene began writing about conversations which have never happened. The resulting project is an accumulation of melancholic, frank accounts. A discovery of unknown strength in the face of adversity.
