He sang
She came from the sea
I went there to find her
Nights with no sleep
Spent looking for her
I don’t dream in aquamarine
Disney’s mermaids under the sea
I see pirates and slave ships
R'lyeh’s beauty
Seething and sunken
We worship the mirror gods and madmen
That feed on amnesia
Concealing oceans of truth
From the removed and aloof
Remote from urban zones
There are undertones
Undercurrents
But nothing concrete
Let bygones be by the sea
A floating junkyard
Drowned in the dark
Last night
