I Know a Mermaid
They say if you drown in the ocean
You become a mermaid
You always ate the end peice of the loaf
Now they sit molding in a basket.
You hated bully's
But I just saw a kid get shoved down
You always brushed Devlin
Now his coats getting too thick, like the tears in my eyes.
You weren't a Christian, but they called you Jesus
And for good reasons.
We use to split the Safeway Sushi
Now I eat it all, with a bitter taste
I know a merman
And he wears my brothers face.
