Dryope, the nymph
I love you
follow me
down into this deep blue sea
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
'cause baby you'll be here with me
I know
your lungs will fail you
panic-stricken pale -- you'll be
But pain will end and light will fade
from the stars in your eyes
I'll keep you safe
and I'll keep you close
but grave wax will grow
And I'll recall how you choked
blisters will form and your body will bloat
I'll fight off the fishes
who kiss your sweet lips
Who live in the sockets
which once housed your soul
A hopeless love
as skin melts from bone
I should have listened
when you said you were not home
The pressure will grow
and I'll let you go
Lifelessly sinking
down deep below
