Useless Beauty - Mer Song lyrics

All you wanted was to bring me back All you wanted was to keep me safe for another lifetime But you can't see I will never be the same (the sweet child you've known) and everything I've left behind cannot be restored completely even after my sacrifice even after my slaughter I've tried everything to not end up like foam but that may be what I wanted when I lost my faith in certainty My tears won't become pearls so I stopped crying altogether just like you told me so This story may not even have started (had I blindly followed your wise will) but how could I when you don't do what you're saying when I misread everything between the lines? ah.... Wearing the glory of wild flowers that no one ever sees until kingdom comes I'll learn to breathe through my gills again…
