Choice Mountain

[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
