Mermaids Lyrics

Mermaids swim up to see the moon

But they go down to earth to seek the truth

Waves stroke through their hair

They're currents of far

Can't find the way out of the water

They can hear your voice inside their heads

They wonder who you are

and want you dead

The colour of beets

and melting sand

Explaining the thousands

of glassy mucus and blood

Home's a statue underwater

No underworld

No phobias

Hells the place of guards to orchards

In the underworld no breath is pure

We go down into the battlefield

Erased by the rain and daffodils

Rain's older than earth

Yellow light casts on

Listen close it's the end of the world

So while you can go to your corner store

And buy her flowers

Even if they're wilted and old

Before everything turns to ashes or pixels

Nature will help

Or it will help to destroy

Expressed in dollars

Too numb to feel

Hyms to the machines

Numbered in words

So use them wisely

Don't boil in them

No don't boil in them

Home's a statue underwater

No underworld

No phobias

Hells the place of guards to orchards

In the underworld no breath is pure
