Deaf Mermaids

They sang beneath the waves so deep
A hymn no sailor dares to keep
Voices caught in tides that pull
The ocean's heart beats cold and full

Deaf mermaids hum in waters wide
No one hears
No one replies
Their songs dissolve in endless blue
Lost to me
And lost to you

Salted tears like pearls of grey
Rolling through the coral's fray
Their melodies
A secret code
Spoken where no light has flowed

Can you feel them
Through the haze
A thousand notes in a liquid maze

Deaf mermaids hum in waters wide
No one hears
No one replies
Their songs dissolve in endless blue
Lost to me
And lost to you

Dreams unravel
Currents turn
Fins that shimmer
Hearts that burn
They hold the silence
Hold it tight
Swallowed by the drowning night
