01 The Outcast Tide

[Verse]
Born beneath the sapphire waves
Where the coral gardens sway
My scales glimmered dark
Not gold
A shadow in their gleaming fold

[Prechorus]
They whispered low
They turned away
Said I was forged of storm and spray

[Chorus]
I am the outcast tide
Drifting where the secrets hide
Searching for a shore unknown
A place where I can call my own

[Verse 2]
My voice could calm the roaring sea
Or wake the stars from apathy
But power in the depths they fear
Their judgment sharp
Their hearts unclear

[Prechorus]
I sang to silence
Sang to stone
The currents carried me alone

[Chorus]
I am the outcast tide
Drifting where the secrets hide
Searching for a shore unknown
A place where I can call my own

[Verse]
Born with scales that glimmered strange
A glow that set the tides to change
They whispered deep
She’s not our kind
Left her adrift
Left her behind

[Prechorus]
The ocean sighed
It knew her name
The stars above refused to blame

[Chorus]
Oh siren
Swim
To waters unknown
Find a place where hearts have grown
They cast you out
But you still shine
A song of exile
A life divine

[Verse 2]
Her voice could split the sea in two
A gift they feared
A gift they knew
Her hands could spark the coral’s bloom
Yet all she felt was endless gloom

[Prechorus]
The waves would weep
The moon would stare
She sought a world that wasn’t there

[Chorus]
Oh siren
Swim
Searching for a shore unknown
A place where I can call my own
They cast you out
But you still shine
A song of exile
A life divine

[Verse 2]
Her voice could split the sea in two
A gift they feared
A gift they knew
Her hands could spark the coral’s bloom
Yet all she felt was endless gloom

The waves would weep
The moon would stare
She sought a world that wasn’t there

02 Starlight Gunslinger

[Verse]
He walks the stars in silence
Boots of steel
A shadow on the dashboard
Hands that feel
The weight of truth
The weight of fire
A lonesome drifter
Never tired

[Prechorus]
They watch his stride
Their hearts are still
A man of code
A man of will

[Chorus]
Faster than the light
His words cut deep
The starlight gunslinger
No time to weep
Sinister and steady
His gaze is cold
The truth he fires is worth its gold

[Verse 2]
They whisper tales in cosmic bars
His name
A legend built on lightning
Not on shame
He doesn’t lie
He doesn’t bend
To foes or friends
It’s all the same

[Prechorus]
They fear his hand
They fear his tone
But in their hearts
Respect is sown

[Chorus]
Faster than the light
His words cut deep
The starlight gunslinger
No time to weep
Sinister and steady
His gaze is cold
The truth he fires is worth its gold

03 The Mermaid Monster

[Verse]
Silver boots on dusty stars
A stoic heart behind the scars
Chasing shadows through the void so wide
Truth is my compass
Justice my ride

[Prechorus]
But whispers of her name
They linger
The Mermaid Monster
A cruel fate’s singer

[Chorus]
Oh Mermaid Monster
What’s the truth they hide
Do you wait in sorrow
In your secret tide
Oh Mermaid Monster
One last story to find

[Verse 2]
Her legend rides on comet tails
A banshee song in asteroid gales
They call her cursed
But who decides
A siren's voice
Or just lonely cries

[Prechorus]
Her hideout’s a ghost
They say
Lurking deep where no maps stay

[Chorus]
Oh Mermaid Monster
What’s the truth they hide
Do you wait in sorrow
In your secret tide
Oh Mermaid Monster
One last story to find

04 Mermaid Monster Lullaby

[Verse]
In the ocean deep she lies
Mermaid monster sings her cries
Dreams in shadows she will play
Luring hearts to drift away

[Verse 2]
Stars above they softly shine
Gravity pulls hearts in line
Whispers in the quiet night
Peaceful lullaby takes flight

[Chorus]
Mermaid monster lullabies
Lonely voices
Tired eyes
Close your eyes and drift away
Till the light of a new day

[Verse 3]
Space cowboy rides alone
Through the stars where life has flown
Galaxies spinning around
Silence is the only sound

[Verse 4]
Out there on a broken wave
Mermaid monster seeks to save
Every sailor lost at sea
Caught in dreams eternally

[Bridge]
And when the world meets its end
Mermaid monster finds a friend
In the darkness softly glow
Dreams in whispers come and go

05 They Don’t See You But I Know

[Verse]
Stars don’t blink they just stare
Like me they’ve been everywhere
Dust on my boots weight in my chest
I’ve searched the heavens but found no rest

[Prechorus]
Then her voice cut through the night
A song of sorrow a silver knife

[Chorus]
Mermaid Monster where do you go
Hiding in shadows beneath the glow
They don’t see you but I know
Mermaid Monster don’t let me go

[Verse 2]
Her song spoke of tides that pulled her apart
A creature of magic a trembling heart
The ocean’s daughter the sky’s regret
A name they gave her she can’t forget

[Prechorus]
I ride the comets I chase her sound
Through empty planets where none are found

[Chorus]
Mermaid Monster where do you hide
Fear in your eyes but I’ll never divide
They don’t know you but I’ve seen inside
Mermaid Monster take me to your side

06 Stars to Your Fins

[Verse]
In the deep dark night
You glow like the stars
Shimmering so bright
From Venus to Mars

[Verse 2]
With your fins so fair
You swim through my dreams
In the cosmic air
Love like moonbeams

[Chorus]
Oh Mermaid Monster
You make the night shine
Oh Mermaid Monster
Forever be mine

[Verse 3]
Ocean's depths you roam
With a mystic grace
Every wave your home
Magic in your face

[Verse 4]
In your eyes I see
Galaxies and light
You’re my destiny
In the endless night

[Chorus]
Oh Mermaid Monster
You make the night shine
Oh Mermaid Monster
Forever be mine

07 Stars Don't Judge The Ocean Deep

[Verse]
Under the waves where the shadows play
She hides her heart from the light of day
A shimmer of scales
A tale untold
They call her a monster
Cruel and cold

[Prechorus]
But stars don't judge the ocean deep
They watch
They burn
They never sleep

[Chorus]
Mermaid Monster
Rise from the blue
The cosmos sings a song for you
A love so pure
A love so true
Mermaid Monster
They never knew

[Verse 2]
He came from the void in a silver ship
Eyes like comets
A stoic grip
His voice cut through her lonely tide
He saw her scars and never lied

[Prechorus]
The universe
A stage of fire
Their hearts the chords
Their love the choir

[Chorus]
Mermaid Monster
Rise from the blue
The cosmos sings a song for you
A love so pure
A love so true
Mermaid Monster
They never knew

08 A Voice from the Stars

[Verse]
In the coldest tide I drift alone
Scales of silver but a heart of stone
They cast me out for being strange
A mermaid lost in ocean's range

[Chorus]
But who sings to the waves
Who calls me near
A voice from the stars
It pierces the fear
The cowboy in the cosmos
With a song so true
He sang the moon to light
And the dark withdrew

[Verse 2]
My tears mix with the salted sea
A thousand leagues of misery
But his melody bends the night
Turns the exile into flight

[Prechorus]
He strums the chords
He hums the sky
And suddenly I know why

[Chorus]
Who sings to the waves
Who calls me near
A voice from the stars
It pierces the fear
The cowboy in the cosmos
With a song so true
He sang the moon to light
And the dark withdrew

[Bridge]
He reached out
My hand in his
Galaxies spun where his touch exists
“Your scales
Your soul
They glow
They gleam
You’re the anchor to my spacebound dream”

09 Cosmic Saddle

[Verse]
He rode through the stars with a steel-eyed stare
A lone comet cowboy
No one else would dare
Found her adrift in a sea of black
A mermaid monster
With a shimmering crack

[Prechorus]
Her scales sang stories the world couldn’t hold
He saw the beauty in the tales untold

[Chorus]
Cosmic saddle
Ride the light
Hold me close through endless night
In your arms
I’m no monster
Just me
Together we burn across eternity

[Verse 2]
They called her a curse
A shadow
A sin
Banished her magic
The glow from within
But his hands reached out
Strong and kind
A heavenly orbit
Two hearts aligned

[Prechorus]
No gravity could pull us apart
We’re stitched together
Star to heart

[Chorus]
Cosmic saddle
Ride the light
Hold me close through endless night
In your arms
I’m no monster
Just me
Together we burn across eternity

[Chorus]
Cosmic saddle
Ride the light
Hold me close through endless night
In your arms
I’m no monster
Just me
Together we burn across eternity
