Bathtub Mermaid

Rise and fall

Silver moon tide erased my footprints

Then I picked up broken scales

Stuck them to my tail

Ah, if love truly makes you blind

Then I guess there is no need

There is no need to see

I'll trade my eyes so you can see for me

Lulala lulalila

Stay with me, you will never be sad

I, I will embrace

Embrace your bubbles, your fluids

And keep you warm

Then I will squeeze out

Squeeze out your germs, your spore, your viruses

I, I will embrace

Embrace your membranes, your bones

And keep you cool

Then I will squeeze out

Squeeze out your evil, your grim and your woe

Transform myself once and for all

Sink into the tub

Reborn, reform

Twist my legs to one

And mind to none

Tell me, tell me, what do you see

In the mirror that's covered in chalky steam?

Touch me, touch me, kiss me to sleep

Cut me open and give me gills

So I can breathe

With tweezers and nippers

Trim off my fins, and forever

I'll be yours

I won't fight or make you cry

Whatever you need

Whenever you need

I'll be by your side

And then I gave you my eyes

To see all the colors

And then I gave you my ears

To hear all the sirens

And then I gave you my heart

To fill the emptiness in your chest

And then I gave you my brain

So that you can learn to love

Tell me, tell me, what do you see

In the water that's clinging onto my skin?

Cut me, cut me, please make it deep

If I'm covered in scars, will you look at me?

Kiss me, kiss me, don't leave me be

I'm a bathtub mermaid

I cannot swim but only sing

Just pull the plug

Flush down all our memories

Into the sea
