Like A Mermaid
Is anything even real?

[Verse 1]
I had to learn a way to breathe in the water that I’m under
And I wonder about all the things I want to get away from
And why I rarely get to stop and pause for a chance to come up
So I can watch the sunrise high above me when I’m in the deep
And it’s just something I get small glimpses of throughout the day
Because surviving the sea has become a suffocating routine
And I want..
I have to swim away
[Chorus]
You have to keep swimming and I want to swim away
I have to keep swimming so I’m swimming away
I wasn’t made for this
I was born to live until the day I die
Not just be underwater for the rest of my life
Like a mermaid, a mermaid
They don’t exist but I’m just existing
What’s the point of breathing if you’re not really living?
Nothing feels real anyways
Like a mermaid, a mermaid
[Verse 2]
And I’m wondering about all the things I want to get away from
But when I finally take a break and think
What do I let get away from me?
They say life’s a beach so then I must be a mermaid
That’s why I can never land
Why I can never stand and no one understands
Where I’m coming from or who I am
[Chorus]
You have to keep swimming and I want to swim away
I have to keep swimming so I’m swimming away
I wasn’t made for this
I was born to live until the day I die
Not just be underwater for the rest of my life
Like a mermaid, a mermaid
They don’t exist but I’m just existing
What’s the point of breathing if you’re not really living?
Nothing feels real anyways
Like a mermaid, a mermaid
They don’t exist but I’m just existing
What’s the point of breathing if you’re not really living?
Nothing feels real anyways
Like a mermaid, a mermaid
