On Whale

Thumbnail

[Verse 1]

Drowned like a rat and washed ashore

Brand new environs to explore

I start my trek across the land

Beautiful little butterflies

Colorful wings and Compound Eyes

Thinking they're better than I am


[Verse 2]

Put on my best t-shirt and jeans

Went out to meet a guy like me

Told me he knows a secret truth

"Every difference is the same

The most we can do is place the blame

Hope no one ever asks for proof"

Sat down to think this through alone

And a harvester stole away my bones

I bet you think that couldn't happen to you


[Verse 3]

Shell on the beach rings like a phone

Inside, I hear, in muffled tones

"We're not so different you and me

Tell me what's unique about you

Hey, we have that in common too"

I shut my big mouth in defeat

Tells me, "for better or for worse

I think you're ready and rehearsed

To be the new Connor Delaney"
