Unicorns of the Sea

[Verse 1]
Rust on the harbor
Salt in my teeth
Cold wind chewing
Through this thrift-store sleeve
You say magic’s dead
Just old stories fade
Till something breaks the waves
Like a blade
[Chorus]
Narwhals
Unicorns of the sea
Freak show halos
Cutting through the deep
Yeah
I’m a misfit
Guess that makes me free
Narwhals
Unicorns of the sea
(unbroken, ugly, holy, just like me)
[Verse 2]
Kids on the message boards
Laugh at what they can’t see
They only trust a screen
They don’t trust the bleed
But out past the drag nets
Past the tar-black foam
There’s a horned little ghost
Calling
“Come home”
[Chorus]
Narwhals
Unicorns of the sea
Freak show halos
Cutting through the deep
Yeah
I’m a misfit
Guess that makes me free
Narwhals
Unicorns of the sea
(unbroken, ugly, holy, just like me)
[Bridge]
If you’re wired wrong
If you’re cracked off-key
Wear your spiral crown
Sink or swim with me
Raise that crooked tooth
At their pretty little shore
We’re the rumor they can’t prove
The thing they’re begging for
[Chorus]
Narwhals
Unicorns of the sea
Freak show halos
Cutting through the deep
Yeah
We’re the outcasts
Guess that makes us free
Narwhals
Unicorns of the sea
(lost cause, last call, that’s our creed)

rock, Fuzzy mid-’90s grunge: dirty overdriven guitars, loose live drums, male vocals with a sneer and a cracked shout in the chorus. Start with a single detuned guitar riff, then slam into full band. Verses stay half-time and sludgy; chorus jumps with doubled vocals and gang shouts. Brief feedback break before last chorus, bass growling underneath., grunge
