Tangled

We dreamed the same dream as it shifted into nightmare
Mermaids underwater, tangling our long hair
Struggles in the deep, hidden undercurrents
Shipwrecking swells came crashing to the surface

Oh, tangled up together
This terrible knot none but the sharpest blade could sever
You and me, this crazy thing that binds us
Now you’ve cut me free - now I see it was a kindness

I will always swim for a song with a familiar rhythm
Shaking every limb for that heartbeat dance
To find a partnering - a speaker of the same old language
How you drew me in - how could I ever disengage you?

Oh, tangled up together
This terrible knot none but the sharpest blade could sever
You and me, nothing could unwind us
Now you’ve cut me free - now I see it was a kindness to me

And I awaken

And how I miss you, and our breathless existence
Now I have paid you the cost of my resistance
Banished from our dreamlife, cast upon the current
I fill with light and air - I come crashing to the surface

Oh, tangled up together
This terrible knot none but the sharpest blade could sever
You and me, where they’ll never find us
Now you’ve cut me free - now I see it was a kindness to me

And I awaken
