Mother of Pearl Lyrics
Mother of Pearl by Melanie Martinez
The fish always sleep in, they swim in piles like the sheep
And the shepherd’s off the feeling of power, scheming and stealing
I got a shell that’s protective, I swim alone, it’s the best thing
My aura’s been different essence, I don’t need to impress you
My value’s too high, you think you can afford it?
When your water’s so dry and you’re lacking abundance
I’m not talking ’bout your pockets, yeah, your wallet means nothing
I’m talkin’ spiritual wealth, how did your heart get so hardened?
[Chorus]
Pearl in a sea full of clown fish
Iridescent when I shine ’cause I’m that b**ch
Ballin’ then we stay broke, oh, oh
Baby, I’m born from the inner protection
Crystallized carefully in perfection
Hold me to your chest so close
[Verse 2]
Not just expensive, but patient, it took me years to create it
Something so ostentatious that Judas found me allegious
Cover them with my graciousness, they wound me, I’m healing it
And f**k it, I heal them too, what mother of pearl would do
Pay respects to my process, I’m the oyster, the farmer
I’m the pearl that is harvested, polished, papered, and promised
Then I’m sold as a product to all the jewelry shoppers
The cliché couples who want me to fix all their problems
[Chorus]
Pearl in a sea full of clown fish
Iridescent when I shine ’cause I’m that b**ch
Ballin’ then we stay broke, oh, oh
Baby, I’m born from the inner protection
Crystallized carefully in perfection
Hold me to your chest so close
