Echo

She had the face of a nymph and the voice of a siren
When she walked her feet left arrows behind them
Like a goddess, with the eyes of a beast
I followed the footprints to the lake and became her echo

I tried to be strong but my heart was so fickle
She spoke in riddles and I was beguiled

And I can't read minds, although I have often tried
And I can't read lips, so I'll fall for your tricks again

I know you don't believe in rebirth
But I must have sinned
In a past life to let you walk all over me the way you did

Stumbling after her as if my heart was in her hands
I loved her and she only loved herself
I was the sailor deaf to the siren's wail
Hearing only the naiad's whispers that pulled me down

And I can't read mind, although I have often tried
And I can read your lips, I won't fall for your tricks again

I know you don't believe in rebirth
But I must have sinned
In a past life to let you walk all over me

Despite every red flag
I plunged myself in the ocean
Time after time, not caring if I drowned
And I realised too late that I am trapped in
What I once considered heaven
A cell that I once called home
