Great White Shark

Mercury Creeping on the sea How she wails Flails her arms and weeps Accumulation of debris Lips apart Flapping as a lark For in the dark there is release Every familiarity scarce as the great white shark Oh, to build Walls with golden gills Spike in hand High above the sand To kill the sanctuary Every mile that is owned Only stands still by the grace of the stone Every familiarity scares as the great white shark Look, daughter and owl Listen to her howl I howled when you were born to me And you're alive with a breath you can't see Oh, by the grace of this dream --- Great White Shark - Big Thief
