Mermaid Songtext / Lyric

Remember how you found me
Under a low bent half moon
I must have been singing for you
I'd never left the water
Though I once knew some flying fish
Thought I'd forget how to swim
I am your mermaid
I give to you freely
But soon as you see me I'm gone, gone
I am your mermaid
Tangled but blissful
Knock me a kissful of nectar, honey
The water is hot
And you hold my head
As sores of the day slip through the shore's threads
I'd never felt such rapture
A glimpse at the lighthouse
Undo myself from your hanging mouth
I am your mermaid
Tangled but blissful
Knock me a kissful of nectar, honey
I am your mermaid
I opened your mortal need
You planted your opal seed of love, love
I am your mermaid
I am your mermaid
I am your mermaid
Jack in the Box
It's been seven years now, living in this box
Closed in on all sides, no light, just dark
He kept me under the bed, I'd pray for it to stop
He'd lock me safely away, and lie on top
Pop the latches open the hatches
Out comes Jack in the box
Doing tricks and taking licks
Out comes Jack in the box
I was an uncut marionette hanging by steel cable threads
I was a shadow dancer a thousand shades of red
There's too much light it's far too bright
I see things much too clearly
There's too much light, it far too bright
weary, oh so weary
If this is all of life outside
Please put me where I am happy
Where I won't know what to think of this
Black in black, almost sleeping
Pop the latches open the hatches, out comes jack in the box
Doing tricks and taking licks, out comes jack in the box
Please lock me up
Shut me up
Shut up your jack in the box

Fountains on fire
Last night in a dream
I travelled for years and years
Galaxies, centuries
No one was there, it was bare and arid
Red earth, eternal dusk
Had to keep moving, walked for miles
Fusing force, broke the dials
And there in the distance
Heard them ringing, felt it stinging my insides
Saw them trembling white
Saw the trembling
trembling white
Fountains on fire
Fountains on fire
Fountains on fire
I've arrived
Swallowed the spray, erased my face, kissed the curve
Met the end, drenched dream
Torched the final curtain
Changed my destiny in the shivering light
Bathing in the shivering white
Bathing in the shimmering white
Fountains on Fire
Fountains on Fire
Fountains on Fire
I've arrived
When you see me, burn me down

anything you like
you can lift that tremble right between my eyes
you can study deep tongues til your blind and wise
you can slide into the earth
and you can witness your own birth
you can brush the shadow's kiss
and you can scratch your wildest itch
alive alive i will awaken you
alive alive you will awaken
you can do anything you like
you can plant the dagger of destiny
you can taste the spine that's you and me
you can sing the bitter temple's song
you can be the sand or bang the gong
you can trace patterns in the sky
and you can ride the angels when they fly
you can do anything
you can do anything you like
anything you like
anything you like
alive alive I will awaken you
alive alive you will awaken

Parachute
Something's calling my sunshine to the store
He thinks he'll get what he needs there
Sirens hide under each crack and wicked scar
They even made him a superstar
Someday you will wear a noble crown
And only you'll need to feel it
We're not letting this humble ship go down
We just need to steer it
And i burn it
Keep repeating it
My prayer
Don't give in out there
Holding fast to my John the Conqueror root
Lucky Hand don't desert me now
If you ever need a parachute
You can fall free with me baby
And I burn it, keep repeating it
My prayer
Don't give in out there
And I burn it
I keep repeating it
My prayer
Don't give in
And I burn it
I keep repeating it
My prayer
Don't give in
And I burn it
Keep repeating it
My prayer
Don't give in

Rolling
I wanna steam you open
Wanna swim your ocean
We would fly
I wanna suck your motions
Exorcise devotions
Never die
And growing you inside the star's eye
You fascinate the loops with open belt
If dreams were we
I'd be the sea
And you're some crazy fisherman
Your line's on fire
You're caught in my tide
Your sky's exspiring
You're rolling again
I wanna let you see it
Wanna truly free it
You and I
I wanna bleed your cedar
Until it gives me fever and I'm high
And knowing you, you'll ride the far side
You liberate the moon from it's hung shelf
If dreams were we, I'd take the lead
You're down on your knees
The wave is rising
A blink is all you need
Now you're inside me
Rolling again
