Waste a hazy afternoon
Soupy temps keep me locked inside
Locked inside my little room
Watch the stars pass me by

Like a seafoam necklace
Wrapped around a ball of twine
You'll find the bones of mermaids
Who you've known in a past life

It's a lot like the whale that has come to shore
He heard being dry was more comfortable

It's the way that we move in a field of wheat
Yeah, we feel like we've got wings on our feet

It's the last burst of laughter And a sigh of relief
There's a moth out to pasture With a cow on their sleeve

We once lived in liquid but Now we can breathe
So we sing to the bones that Grow safe in the sea

Counting tiles up above
Speckled with dust like a celestial marvel
Cocoon myself in sheets
Maybe tomorrow I won't be larva

Like a tangled kite string
I just want to touch the sky
Inside a sopping rain cloud
Merpeople grave yard in the eye

Like the sound of the thunder as it rolls on through
Shakes the bones out the clouds so they rain on you

You can't ever feel and you can't even see
When they evaporate out of the sea

See their place of rest is up in the sky
Just like the rest of us, theyre real close by

You know when we die that could be it for you and me
Save for the bones that grow safe in the sea

In the deepest, darkest trench
A palace built with coral and marble
20,000 leagues above
The ship's propeller makes the surface garble

Bloodied carcasses
Of a school of fish
That got trapped in the path
Of the propeller made a dying wish

There's a time for flight, fight And a time to just let go
But you realize they're the same damn thing
Predetermined by a code

Like a wolf without kin
Or a dog up a tree
You don't want to be man
You just want to be free

Set fire to the palace
Pry open the gates
Trying to get up in the sky
And I don't want to be late

Oh, the exit sign
Is just too far away
Wanna be in the storm cloud
Wanna be there today

When we play catch the lightening
With a skeleton key
And we sing for the bones
That grow safe in the sea
