lyrics

Verse
You can hear it in his voice,
I think he understands we don’t have a choice.
Do you?

And you can see it on his face,
I think he understands we don’t have a place.
Do you?

Pre-Chorus
And the days go on and on, when all you want is to belong.

Chorus
I don’t ever want to go home,
to drown in the bitter sand, blood and bone.
And I can’t believe you would say, “everything here was unknown;
everything here was shipped in and sewn.”
I can’t believe you would say, “everything here is our own.
Everything here is right where it belongs.”

Verse
He can hear it in your voice
I think he understands only you rejoice.
Do you?

And he can see it on your face
I think he understands we have been erased.
Do you?

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge
By a blackened sea, turned red right in front of me,
my boy, he's not gonna see next year.
We are in between two worlds, and like that bloody sea
my boy, you're just gonna let him die.

Chorus
I don’t ever want to go home,
I don’t ever want to go home,
all I ever wanted was a home where we might carry on.
And you can’t believe I’d say,
"Everything was already known.
Everything was dreamt and shown.
Everything here was right where it belonged."

about

The Siren Tower Perth, Australia

There hasn’t been a band like The Siren Tower in quite some time. That is, a band distinctly and unmistakably Australian. The country and culture that The Siren Tower celebrates in story and song has both dignity and conscience in tact. It is an Australia of Indigenous, convict and immigrant history alike, because that is the truth of things, and the truth always makes for a better story. ... more
