[Intro] [Underwater shimmer, reverb-plucked motif.] [Verse 1] Salt-laced promises swallowed in the hush, She trades her voice like coin for a human crush. Fins become ankles that bruise on stone, She stitches new names into a foreign bone. [Chorus] Breathe, bend, bleed for air, trade the song for bone, Mermaid’s grin dissolves in a prince’s throne. Scream the tide until the sand forgets, She keeps his name in the shape of regrets. [Verse 2] Tide-stitched letters smear in moonlit mud, She dances blades of glass in a ballroom flooded. Each step a bargain scratched beneath the skin, Voice on the sea-foam — gone, but still within. [Bridge] Salt presses down like a ledger, counting vows unpaid, Her throat trades harmonies for wounds that never fade. [Chorus] Breathe, bend, bleed for air, trade the song for bone, Mermaid’s grin dissolves in a prince’s throne. [Final] No shore will hold the echo of her laugh; only salt remembers.
