[Verse 1]

An artifact of human existence

Is fossilized inside of me

Lost languages, species forgotten

Under sediment beneath our feet


[Verse 2]

Now sugar babies, Mickey Mouse

Digitize your parents' house

Turns into the world we choose to see

But it made me heavy on the way

I fell down for a couple days

Flattened at the bottom of the sea


[Chorus]

Now I'm a flounder

Flounder

Flounder, flounder

Now I'm a flounder

Flounder

Flounder, flounder


[Verse 3]

I'm trapped inside my frame of sight

So much wonder that I cannot see

Though I've only got eyes on one side

It isn't any less real to me


[Verse 4]

Now money talks but I can scream

Look at all this blue and green

Blend into the seashell in your hand

And I don't mind to devolve a bit

Learn to love the simple shit

Forget we sprouted legs and walked the sand


[Chorus]

Now I'm a flounder

Flounder

Flounder, flounder

Now I'm a flounder

Flounder

Flounder, flounder


[Outro]

Now I'm happy I can be myself

Instead of somebody else

I'd never trade the beauty that I've seen
