Lyrics
Have you sent men here for this cold clown
And monstrous eater at the world
Send illumination to our drowning brains
Slime hoops and iodine weeds
I've got to believe in you or live in death
I'm gonna die in full despair
Wake up where the atmosphere is dearer
Maybe closer to heaven
We try to make our way
No aid comes from whatever and wherever
The lowlife kingdom where we part out tea
Heaven dear suggested to promise us
You've not seen mermaids in my actual sea
Her name is oh so really high life
I'm gonna die in full despair
Wake up where the atmosphere is dearer
Maybe closer to heaven
My golden empty soul will outlast your salty sill
In a billion years of trying, we've had no crack at eternity
I've got to believe in you or live in death
I'm gonna die in full despair
Wake up where the atmosphere is dearer
Maybe closer to heaven
