Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Dug deeper than last time / Past the coral, past the lime Found a tooth the size of my forearm / Been waiting since the prehistoric time Megalodon in the dust bed / Jaw wide, still hungry after death I ran my finger down the serrated edge / And I felt the ocean's last breath [Chorus] Carcharodon crawl / I don't need water at all Just a tooth the size of a curse And a hunger that gets worse The shark never needed the sea The shark just needed to be The thing that everyone fears I've been a shark for years [Verse 2] I strapped the tooth to my surfboard / Now it cuts through dust like flesh I paddled up a dune today / And rode the red tide from the crest The bone reef below me scattered / Fish skeletons swam in the wind I opened my mouth and tasted it / The blood of a world that sinned [Chorus] Carcharodon crawl / I don't need water at all Just a tooth the size of a curse And a hunger that gets worse The shark never needed the sea The shark just needed to be The thing that everyone fears I've been a shark for years [Bass solo - 40 seconds] [Low. Rumbling. Played with a pick on the lowest string.] [Each note held until it decays into feedback.] [Then the next note. Then the next. Then the bass drops out completely.] [Outro - whispered over silence, then sung] [whispered] The shark doesn't swim. The shark is. [sung, low, fading] Carcharodon crawl... carcharodon crawl... Tooth in my hand... dust in my jaw... I am the megalodon... I am the jaw... I am the hunger... without a flaw... [last line, spoken:] Feed.
