Cover me in fire
Drop me down to the deepest darkest ocean
So I never have to feel that way again
Colour on the carpet seven eyes on the ceiling
There's a feeling that comes over you
when you know that
Something has changed forever
Don't lose your wings 'till you learn
How to sing yourself to sleep
I know it seems funny but
Maybe we just said goodbye
I feel strange enough to cry
Strawberry Marigold smile
Please don't bring me down
With that look on your face
Because I almost didn't make it and one day
You just might know how that feels
I heard the mermaids singing once
When I was very small
But know the sound of traffic and human voices
Wakes us 'till we drown
Don't lose your wings 'till you learn
How to sing yourself to sleep
I know it seems funny but
Maybe we just said goodbye
Seven angels seven plagues
And the trumpet and the saved
I tell you man if was me on that beast
I would not let you fuck with me like that
It's dangerous to see beyond
The visions that we breathe
But I can hold it in my hand and know
That there's something to this that will never die
