Mantarae Lyrics

She sings in whispers

A sweet little tune

For the ride

There's bodies dismembered

From here to the shore line

On the back of a mantarae

Lay your arms and spread your weight

Holding still but the skins too slick

If the siren falls that's it I quit

I've been holding on now

For Longer than I can

I feel the siren as she starts to slip

I go to reach for her

I lose my grip

Terrigenous sediments beneath our feet

We caught a ride but the ride didn't come for free

Mantarae said climb upon my back

So we did

but we didn't think he'd go that fast

Terrigenous sediments beneath my feet

I'm trying to hear her

But the weeds keep talking to me

They're mocking making me second guess all of these things

And then the siren went into the weeds

Betrayal at its best

She cut off all access

The weeds have a barrier built up around them

I throw rocks and throw shells

But nothing will happen

It's not working

and I grow impatient

But little do I know

She left those weeds weeks ago

Terrigenous sediments beneath my feet

Where'd she go could've sworn she was in those weeds

And now I'm lost here

In the dead sea all alone

and then I hear her sing
