Green Light Across The Bay

Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore

I'm standing on the dock like Gatsby
With my arms reaching out
Towards the green light
That ripples in the water
Should I jump in or turn around?
Like an ignis fatuus of the sea
Luring me, but we can never be
Luring me, but we can never be

Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore
Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore

I'm throwing parties like Gatsby
Hoping you'd come for me and crash the party
But all that's crashing is me
Within the waves, against the rocks
I should've stayed there on the dock
I should've stayed there on the dock
I should've stayed there on the dock

Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore
Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Oh, I got carried away by Fitzgerald
And did not notice the poison in emerald
Now I am drowning in arsenite
Sinking into an underwater paradise
And the last thing I see when I close my eyes
Is an emerald green phosphene
The most beautiful sheen I've ever seen
Most beautiful sheen I've ever seen

Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore
Like every Siren's story
Death's inevitable, memento mori
Like all the Siren lore
I'll never make it ashore

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
