Gills and Giggles

Intro

Oh oh

Da da da

Verse 1

Painted petals peek through the iron fence

Gravel crunching beneath your heavy boots

Little gills fluttering in the basin

Gleaming eyes see it all clearly

Pre-Chorus

Watch the bubble

Pop against the surface

They don't have to carry this

Every scale is a tiny mirror

Reflecting all your shallow vanity

Chorus

Fish in the garden laugh at our problems

Floating in circles while we rot

Finishing the story that you started

Sinking down inside the watering pot

Swimming in the silence of the clover

Giggling while the world goes cold

Wish it would just finally be over

Before the youngest lilies get too old

Verse 2

Staring contest with a golden shadow

Koi are whispering secrets to the snails

Worms are digging ditches for our sorrow

Watch the orange stripes wiggle and dive

Pre-Chorus

Watch the bubble

Pop against the surface

They don't have to carry this

Every scale is a tiny mirror

Reflecting all your shallow vanity

Chorus

Fish in the garden laugh at our problems

Floating in circles while we rot

Finishing the story that you started

Sinking down inside the watering pot

Swimming in the silence of the clover

Giggling while the world goes cold

Wish it would just finally be over

Before the youngest lilies get too old

Bridge

Hook and line

Sinker mine

Pull the jaw until it breaks

Sugar water

Human slaughter

Make the same old messy mistakes

Chorus

Fish in the garden laugh at our problems

Floating in circles while we rot

Finishing the story that you started

Sinking down inside the watering pot

Swimming in the silence of the clover

Giggling while the world goes cold

Wish it would just finally be over

Before the youngest lilies get too old
