I wish I was a Mermaid

Silent tumors of my torrent dreams
I wish I was a mermaid,
sailing in a bathtub of midnight waltz's

But dreams get lost in tiny paper cups
The antichrist starves sitting in my kitchen
as I wait to slave away in garbage trucks

Mermaid genes elusive in an icicle tart
Silent years and screaming tears of raging rotten art

A 'special girl' sitting alone with her really deep thoughts
Tell me whats so pretty about 'really deep thoughts' ?
I wish I was a mermaid sailing silent shadow puddles

No quiet screams lost in my paper cup
No magenta clouded, choked fears of 'really deep thoughts'
No 'one more' casualty soul hitting solid rocks.

The sky is falling falling falling
And I hear my voice talking' really really deep thoughts'
smiling silent tears and pungent years

Turn me to stone, will you
Burn me to chrome will you
Take away all these 'really deep thoughts'
Because I wish I was a Mermaid.
