SHELLS

 [verse 1]

So many sessions with the speech therapist

And still no one understands the language of my heart

Say conchology

The fleeing mermaid is nothing but a shadow of happiness

The one sought by the young woman who was sentenced

Like the fifty sisters to a sad union

The mind hesitating between the drowning of tears and abandon

 

[chorus]

Oh oh how long will I be waiting again to hear her voice

I’m alone more from despair than choice

I know the chant of love can only be heard

By those whom mermaids had turned up the heart

My net catch nothing but those empty shells

No pearl in their belly it’s absurd that lack of chance

How long will I be waiting to hear the captivating chant?

Command the end.

[command the end please command the end of my loneliness]

Command.

 

[verse 2]

And the sky is so vast oh dear and so far so out of my reach,

Or is there in the invisible some kind of breach?

Does he only hear when a heart speaks of shells?

Or when a shell speaks of hearts under a fog of spells?

 

 

[chorus]

Oh oh how long will I be waiting again to hear her voice

I’m alone more from despair than choice

I know the chant of love can only be heard

By those whom mermaids had turned up the heart

My net catch nothing but those empty shells

No pearl in their belly it’s absurd that lack of chance

How long will I be waiting to hear the captivating chant?

Command the end.

[command the end please command the end of my loneliness]

Command.

 

[outro]

Oh command command my voice is broken divine friend

I only know to love the vain command

I wanna know the warmth of a caring soul I’m on my knees

The Fa the do the la the la la las of mermaids sounding like grieves

Jumping into the vast ocean rolling up its sleeves

Please before the angel blows the horn

Before this world comes to an end

Let me know what love is please please command.

 

[chorus]

Oh oh how long will I be waiting again to hear her voice

I’m alone more from despair than choice

I know the chant of love can only be heard

By those whom mermaids had turned up the heart

My net catch nothing but those empty shells

No pearl in their belly it’s absurd that lack of chance

How long will I be waiting to hear the captivating chant?

Command the end.

[command the end please command the end of my loneliness]

Command.

Only orphans’ feelings without no siblings to carry them.

[command the end please command the end of my loneliness]

Oh command the end please command the end of my loneliness.
