I'm trying to leave my ocean home
I'm trying to leave my ocean
Though I don't know nothin' of the swamp
And I could be a limbless star
Pushing at the sac all ready to delight the lucid shoal
And you don't look impressed
I could be the dolphin of your dreams
Willing wings to my chest
One day I'll grow up and show you
Harpoons and monsoons won't keep me at bay
There's so much yet to happen
My limbs now my fins now a film on my lips
And why you never call back
I'm older I'm colder I'm not commin' good
A cherub in the ashtray
Wriggling back to the source
And thrashing at the waterfalls for what
Somewhere there is a place
And I could be the whale that takes it all
But maybe I'm a lioness
And when I reach the shore I'll
Tear apart hyenas with no thought
Now organs in a glassy glow
And cloudy with potential
Muscle mass and vertebrae begin
Trying to figure my place
I'm feverish with all my dreams away
They don't notice me now
But I could be the whale that takes them all
Them all
Try this and try this and try this again
I'm never gonna make it
Delete me
Repeat me
Let's try this again
A tiny little fish egg
He's homeless and boneless and drifting along
Just jelly in the blackness
And inching up to the pole
Only to be lost among the white
Somewhere there is a place
And I could be a pterodactyl God
I'm trying to leave my ocean home
