So the clouds remain a grey that echoes every day
unlike the tide they don't subside, don't ever pull away

The rain can't wash away all the sins that creep out from the gutters within
keep on pounding at the window I never let it in though, I never let the weather win
The years are always miserable, collecting tears by the bucketful
We'll never have a drought though I keep pouring them out, it's barely metaphorical

They never wanted me, the thought keeps haunting me
The more I try the more unkind they get, they're taunting me
But this morning in the plentiful rain, I feel a change is coming, calling my name
It's a watercolour painting, it's running while I'm waiting, a masterpiece made out of a stain

This beguiling voice I hear
the lust inside is so sincere
Blood cascades down teeth like blades
When mermaids reappear

I'm watched by eyes of black
they've seen the depths and back
I'm welcoming, they're focusing
My heart's under attack

The shadows sneaking out of the waves have fins like scythes sending us all to our graves
I shouldn't really go though, I'm done with swimming solo, If I let you come will you behave?
Your methods are so questionable, you know I shouldn't trust your kind at all
You don't feel like I do you don't understand the rules but I can't resist your siren call

They never wanted me, the thought keeps haunting me
The more I try the more unkind they get, they're taunting me
But this morning in the plentiful rain, I feel a change is coming, calling my name
It's a watercolour painting, it's running while I'm waiting, a masterpiece made out of a stain

Little girl, you're so naïve
What lies you've made your mind believe
I'm not with you to heal and mend
I'm here to steal a heart again

This beguiling voice I hear
the lust inside is so sincere
Blood cascades down teeth like blades
When mermaids reappear

I'm watched by eyes of black
they've seen the depths and back
I'm welcoming, they're focusing
My heart's under attack

Little girl, you're so naïve
What lies you've made your mind believe
I'm not with you to heal and mend
I'm here to steal a heart again

This beguiling voice I hear
the lust inside is so sincere
Blood cascades down teeth like blades
When mermaids reappear

I'm watched by eyes of black
they've seen the depths and back
I'm welcoming, they're focusing
My heart's under attack

So the clouds remain a grey that echoes every day
unlike the tide they don't subside, don't ever pull away
