Hylas and the Water Nymphs Lyrics by Abby and the Arsonists

Purple Martians From My Dreams

2023

[Intro]
Lot's wife looks over her shoulder
And finds there's nothing left to see
Ruins were once a city
Pillars of salt were once a body
[Verse 1]
Hylas in the garden
With his loving water nymphs
Their pretty hands all pulling him
Into the murky depths
[Chorus]
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, and trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
[Verse 2]
Shame and absolution
Only live inside your head
Bastards and bishops
Go on living ‘til they're dead
Slouching off towards Bethlehem
The road is lined with cinders
Paved alikе by righteous men
And unrepеntant sinners
[Chorus]
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby. Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood
[Chorus]
Hylas cries out for you
Lips bruised black and blue
"Leave me, baby. Trust I'm loved"
Written in salt and blood (Okay)
[Chorus]
Hylas cries out for you (Out for you)
Lips bruised black and blue (Black and blue)
"Leave me, baby. Trust I'm loved" (Trust I’m loved)
Written in salt and blood
