Legs Of Brine

Lyrics

Verse 1
Found him in the tank
One eye, one scar
Tail on the tile
Then he stood up hard

Wet little knees
On the kitchen floor
Looked at the world
And wanted more

Scales on his jaw
Mud on his feet
He smiled at the sink
Like it owed him heat

Pre-Chorus
Tap, tap, tap
On the glass he came
I heard the house shake
When he said my name

Black in his stare
Cold in his grin
He opened that mouth
And the sky leaned in

Chorus
Legs of brine
Legs of brine
He came to take
What never was mine

Legs of brine
Legs of brine
The whole world bows
Then breaks in time

Verse 2
He hit the road
In a trail of spray
Every red stop light
Went gray that day

Boots made of gills
Step by step
He kicked through malls
Like a deep-sea debt

He took the banks
He took the school
He took the flags
And bent the rule

The moon went dim
The dogs went mad
Every last crown
Turned thin and sad

Pre-Chorus
Tap, tap, tap
On the broken glass
City by city
He let it pass

Rain turned black
On his bitten lip
He laughed so hard
The ground lost grip

Chorus
Legs of brine
Legs of brine
He came to take
What never was mine

Legs of brine
Legs of brine
The whole world bows
Then breaks in time

Bridge
Blues Guitar Solo
Mama, don't pray
He won't slow down
He got a storm
In a fishless crown

Now he screams
With a mouth of foam
No sea can hold him
No name can own

Breakdown
Ayy
Run, run, run
Hear that splash?
That's the end
Coming fast

Screaming through
The bone-white night
One small fish
With a human fight

Final Chorus
Legs of brine
Legs of brine
He came to take
What never was mine

Legs of brine
Legs of brine
The whole world bows
Then breaks in time

Legs of brine
Legs of brine
Fish got up
And made us mine
