Mermaids
Shimmer in the waves
Wanted to share a word
Course they only waved
Left me alone
With the blood in my mouth
To paw and to pray
To tear at the fray for a thundercloud

To dress up your wounds
Wash off the salt
Freshen the blooms
At your sea-rusted altar

Caldera's edge
We'll hold hands and wait
Mudflows are greyhounds
Exploding from gates
With hot ash and hot rocks
They'll crash and they'll mosh
Till the trees are all flat
And we all collapse from the chase

Then I'll dress up your wounds
Wash off the salt
Freshen the blooms
At your mud-crusted altar

Judgement passed...  it's not bad at all.  Nothing fantastic, but I don't mind listening to this at all.  

Judging by the album cover, Laura is either a cool eclectic and slightly nerdy chick, or a snooty hipster...

I'm pretty sure it's that little noise from Muskrat Love.  Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam, Do the jitterbug down in muskrat land... 

Sorry about that for everybody that now has that song stuck in their head. 
I like it but it feels a bit like it wants to cut loose but can't quite manage it.  Also to help a previous writer I'm pretty certain that the predator is making one of those background noises (no need for thanks on that one).

If you were him you would be saying that you are annoying.  And you are.

I need to hear it a few more times before passing judgement.
