Verse 1 What twist of fate hath brought me here, Where waves perform their grandest cheer? The sand does shift, a gold-spun maze, Each step a dance, each glance a gaze. The ocean’s voice, it calls my name, A cryptic jest, a kindred flame. Pre-Chorus Oh, blazing sun, thou cruelest charm, I shun thy warmth, yet take no harm. Chorus 1 My parasol’s a rebel’s shield, Yet I, uncloaked, let truth reveal’d. The sea, she grins, a sly coquette, Her waves do laugh; we’ve only met. Verse 2 The mortals splash, their faces glow, Their joy is wildly uncontrived show. I trail their path, a quiet rogue, A raven's watch on this sunlit vogue. A seashell breaks beneath my boot, Its fragile tale abruptly moot. Pre-Chorus Oh, shifting tides, thou cryptic grace, What secrets lurk within thy trace? Chorus 2 My boots do sink where water twirls, A ribbon torn, a fringe unfurled. A jellyfish, her sting delayed, A lesson softly disobeyed. Bridge A lifeguard said, “Thou art quite odd, Thy gaze doth pierce, thy stance unflawed.” I smirked, “And yet, thou call’st me so, A shadow framed in thy bright tableau.” For rules do ebb as tides, I find, And here, the norm is left behind. Chorus 3 A goth at sea? A paradox! Yet here I stand where wild unlocks. The waves, they spin their playful crime, A rebel tide that breaks through time. Outro Farewell, thou shore, thou restless dream, Thy sunlit hues, thy sparkling scheme. Though shadows claim my heart’s embrace, I leave with sanded dreams to trace.
