Fatal Ocean Lullaby
Take me, tides of green
Let me sail a broken sea
Into a fog so cold and bleak
No lighthouse dare shine its love on me
Rock this ship like a hurricane should
Awaken these bones of rotten wood
Sweep my shoreline
Kill the kelp
Pull the seaweed
And stomp each shell
I don’t need treasure or gold
I need death to tighten its ocean hold
Drown me, tides of black
Destroy the boat, and take me back
Like a siren who calls its lover home
Send me crashing on cliffs with your fatal wave song
Let me sail a broken sea
Into a fog so cold and bleak
No lighthouse dare shine its love on me
Rock this ship like a hurricane should
Awaken these bones of rotten wood
Sweep my shoreline
Kill the kelp
Pull the seaweed
And stomp each shell
I don’t need treasure or gold
I need death to tighten its ocean hold
Drown me, tides of black
Destroy the boat, and take me back
Like a siren who calls its lover home
Send me crashing on cliffs with your fatal wave song
