Afraid of love, afraid of life Tears fill my monastery Mermaids dictate the new aesthetic With words as cold as iron and green skin Something about redemption Something about the mind vs. the Sometimes mermaids sing, voices like a glass bell That swallows my mind Sometimes I jump into the sea Sometimes they're swimming there with me Lecturing about the weight of the mind and the heart At times the sea burns Leaving nothing but purple ashes With a mind of hot coals At times I find good in the world Mermaids organize the new revolution Reflexive movements and black hair Something about compassion Something about the weight of the mind and Sometimes mermaids sing, voices like a glass bell That swallows my mind Sometimes I jump into the sea Sometimes they're swimming there with me Whispering about the difference between the weight Of the mind and the heart God, how they fight Sometimes, late at night I never ever thought I'd learn to sing Try to hide them, can you feel them fight Raging inside of me Sometimes I jump into the sea Sometimes they're swimming there with me Mumbling about the difference in life between the weight of the mind, And all we can prove, and the heart
