[Intro] [low chant Almost inaudible] Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn [Verse 1] Black tide crawling up the harbor stones Tide-mark salt on the chapel doors Maps all wrong yet the coast keeps shifting Sleep feels thin as the floorboards drifting [Chorus] Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn (fhtagn) Mouths full of seawater trying to pray But the words drag down Drag down Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn (oh-oh) If you hear that name in the back of your brain You were already gone [Verse 2] Clock hands melt into one long line Night spills over the window frame Eyes in the drain where the rain keeps talking Streets fold in on the house I’m walking [Chorus] Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn (fhtagn) Mouths full of seawater trying to pray But the words drag down Drag down Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn (oh-oh) If you hear that name in the back of your brain You were already gone [Bridge] Did I dream the rising reef Or did the ground just breathe Every crack in the wall Spelling out that creed Soft Repeating Soft Repeating (fhtagn) [Chorus] Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn (fhtagn) Mouths full of seawater trying to pray But the words drag down Drag down Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn (oh-oh) If you hear that name in the back of your brain You were already gone
