Mermaid Bar Maya Hawke

[Verse 1]
There was no moon black sky on the night
I jumped from the bridge toward the river
I swear, I saw silver star light
On the water's surface, a shimmer
Pounded the pulse, I couldn't finish
Didn't hear a splash or feel the cold
Was full of bubbles for a minute

[Chorus]
Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
Turned to ice, then cycloid scales of gold
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no

[Verse 2]
My lungs deflated, my fingers weaved
Rips separated for gills to breathe
Ran my tongue over my sharp new teeth
Panicked, swimming, collapsed in the reeds
Taken with the current to the sea
Tide disrupting desperate dreams
My belly empty, body weak

[Chorus]
I had no sound, no way to speak
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
I had no sound, no way to speak
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, no
