Sage Francis - Mermaids Are Seasluts Lyrics
I am nothing but a shell of the man I once wasSo you can put me to your ear and actually hear yesteryear's oceanI was in shape thenA much better built body of water with infinite waves and fathomless depthsWhere you could have deep sea fishing for complimentsAnd caught plentiful schools of reassuring commentsNow all you get is the bootYou fell for the bait and got hooked on what you thought I wasNow we're both struggling to win this tug of war of the worldsWhere we breathe the same air, it's just done differentlyAnd I'm tryin to figure out ways to have comfortably survive outside your elementCompromising intelligenceI dabbled in watered down thoughts that filtered in from the main streamI'm offering mind altering ideas that make the most quiet natured brain screamfrom exposure to the types of things that won't necessarily make you happierThey'll just give you a greater range of emotionsAnd I can feel myself getting lured into deeper oceans of fantasy landWhere people think they're as safe as cartoons simply because they speak in bubblesA sanitized safe-haven where you could face Satan and have his faith straightenedHis new goal would be to dethrone Poseidon and have Neptune's place takenThey'd swashbuckle with their pitchforksWhile Lucifer shit talks and rips forts of coral reefFor relief they be like "***** walk"From this oversized aquarium that daddy kept cleanly to unhealthy degreesWriting suicide notes with invisible ink on transparencesAnd posting them to the glass boundaries that surround the seas of changeStrangely enough, while bringing back the realI could sense intense resistance so I had no other choice but to cut the lineI'm not saying you're overly naiveI
