Mermaid
Mermaid
Again, again, I have flooded again,
And I'm that mermaid washed on the shore.
Again, I bleed. Again, I die.
But I swear to my kingdom that I'm alright.
I'll still reign with no tears but I smile, I smile.
Hey, can I see you again?
You made my tears forget themselves.
Hey, can you see me again?
You see, I've broken down again because I hate myself.
I'm the only one who can help myself,
But won't you see me again?
I'd love to walk, I'd love to run,
But I can only stand as I gasp for air.
Again, I cry silently today,
And I'll fade away slowly, still smiling.
The ocean enjoys swallowing us into a warm hug.
Hey, can I see you again?
You made my tears forget themselves.
Hey, can you see me again?
You see, I've broken down again because I hate myself.
I'm the only one who can help myself,
But won't you see me again?
Away, away from the crowd, I erase my brain.
Here, here I am now without a friend.
No one's here to stop me, hold me.
Won't you hold me? No?
So I bleed and I die.
Hey, can I see you again?
You made my tears forget themselves.
Hey, can you see me again?
You see, I've broken down again because I hate myself.
I'm the only one who can help myself,
But won't you see me again?
