Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore
I'm standing on the dock like Gatsby With my arms reaching out Towards the green light that ripples in the water Should I jump in or turn around?
Like and ignis fatuus of the sea Luring me, but we can never be Luring me, but we can never be
Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore
I'm throwing parties like Gatsby Hoping you'd come for me And crash the party But all that's crashing is me
Within the waves, against the rocks I should've stayed there on the dock I should've stayed there on the dock I should've stayed there on the dock
Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore
Oh, ooh-whoah Oh, ooh-whoah
Oh, I got carried away by Fitzgerald And did not notice the poison in emerald Now I am drowning in arsenite Sinking into an underwater paradise And the last thing I see when I close my eyes Is an emerald green phosphene The most beautiful sheen I've ever seen The most beautiful sheen I've ever seen
(The most beautiful sheen)
Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore Like every Siren's story Death's inevitable, memento mori Like all the Siren lore I'll never make it ashore
