plastic heart melts
smells of burning hair
the oceans look so deep
find it hard to sleep
while she's swinging on stars
I gaze and hold out my arms


monsoon tremors flitter through bones
bee shadows guide me home
the sun it shines through chipped bared teeth
my ribs spread and desert bleached
my heart beats, in her queen hand
savage dance, in a loving land

Im speaking in the tongues of fish
no one cares, they cant hear it
shes a mermaid in a coral bed
singing the words inside my head
its alright, alright, tonight tonight
its alright, alright, we are all right, alright

in the ocean we will play
in my heart it's all okay
silent nights and silent days
excuse this howl, wolves came to play
some moments stay and some moments wane
here is a struggle, there goes the pain

the love of sun from moon, they cannot feign

to silent nights and vibrant days
the heartbeat stays, the heartbeat stays
