[Verse 1]

I'm trying to leave my ocean home

I'm trying to leave my ocean

Though I don't know nothing of the swamp

And I could be a limbless star

Pushing at the sac

All ready to delight the lucid shoal

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 coming good

A cherub in the ashtray

[Verse 2]

Wriggling back to the source

And thrashing up the waterfalls for what?

Somewhere there is a place

And I could be the whale that takes you all

[Pre-Chorus]

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 globe

And cloudy with potential

Muscle mass and vertebrae begin

[Verse 3]

Trying to figure my place

And feverish with all my dreams awake

They don't notice me now

But I could be the whale that takes them all

Them all

[Chorus]

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

Is homeless, and boneless, and drifting along

Just jelly in the blackness

[Verse 4]

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

[Outro]

I'm trying to leave my ocean home
