Creeping on the sea
How she wails
Flails her arms and weeps
Accumulation of debris
Lips apart
Flapping as a lark
For in the dark there is release
Every familiarity scarce as the great white shark
Oh, to build
Walls with golden gills
Spike in hand
High above the sand
To kill the sanctuary
Every mile that is owned
Only stands still by the grace of the stone
Every familiarity scares as the great white shark
Look, daughter and owl
Listen to her howl
I howled when you were born to me
And you're alive with a breath you can't see
Oh, by the grace of this dream
Mercury Creeping on the sea How she wails Flails her arms and weeps Accumulation of debris Lips apart Flapping as a lark For in the dark there is release Every familiarity scarce as the great white shark Oh, to build Walls with golden gills Spike in hand High above the sand To kill the sanctuary Every mile that is owned Only stands still by the grace of the stone Every familiarity scares as the great white shark Look, daughter and owl Listen to her howl I howled when you were born to me And you're alive with a breath you can't see Oh, by the grace of this dream Explain Request ×
