Mermaids make a deal With the human price as their appeal As someone steals their voice For the pain of two legs Hoping to find someone lost out at sea in the deep blue Under the knife hoping you find them Waiting there in the sand with the lightest breeze in their hair But the twisted fate is somewhere Mermaids make a deal With the human price as their appeal No need to hear the things they say Cause loves the human way When looking for someone Who's lost out at sea in the deep blue Under the knife hoping you find them Two cravings intertwine Mermaids die the same way Dissolving in the deep blue sea

It must have been inside my head I've lost the hope that I have left And now, at last, it comes to pass We sleep, we dream, we have no less Along the path, we lost our way It's all a game that I must play And now the weak that fall Return to ash, defeated after all Fade away to the wicked world we live And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go When all has come to life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light Forever lost in time With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we live And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go When all has come to life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light Forever lost in time With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we live And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within As I become the dark of you Let go Save this selfish world Save this selfish world (let go) Save this selfish world Save this selfish world

There's nothing I can say to build these bridges back Against the tides that washed them away The life has left this room Like a thousand fires gone black against the sky and scarlet moon The smoke is in the air, choking out the sun It's rising in the air, I can't see And I will find you there, somewhere in the dark Buried in a place between dead and broken hearts There's safety in the darkness, there's safety in the dark I have left these shores to face the tempest night That stirs the stars against the waters with its storms The sirens sing their song It's like a thousand hands that pull me down and break the course I travel on The ocean fills my lungs, drowning out the sun It's rising in my lungs, I can't breathe I close my eyes to see the light that's leading me

Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped, have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass, and the drippings from my ceiling It's okay to eat fish, 'cause they, don't have any feelings Something in the way, hmm-mmm Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm Something in the way, hmm-mmm Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm Underneath the bridge, tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped, have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass, and the drippings from my ceiling It's okay to eat fish, 'cause they, don't have any feelings Something in the way, hmm-mmm Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm Something in the way, hmm-mmm Something in the way, yeah, hmm-mmm

I had the strangest dream, you were lost at sea I found you drowning on the ocean floor I woke from my deep sleep to end the misery I found you lying outside of my door I tried to wake you up, to shake you up And found out you were dead Like a leaf in the wind, you left me standing alone To face the demons in my head We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive A dusty record spins, an old song plays again The needle dragging across its skin Ink spills through my pen, the paper soaks it in The music bringing tremors to my hands I can't just give you up, just lift you up To chance on a dragonfly's wings With my love in the wind You left me standing alone Hoping it brings you back to me We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We are not poets We have no right to make amendments This story's over, this chapter's closing I don't know how it ends But I really don't like how it begins We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive We're burning pages We're burning pages now
