Everything Everything Choice Mountain song lyrics

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 I'll show you

Harpoons and monsoons won't keep me at bay

There's so much left 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 comming good

A cherub in the ashtray

Wriggling back to the source

And thrashing up the waterfalls for what?

Somewhere there's a place

And I can be the whale that takes you 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 globe

And cloudy with potential

Muscle mass and vertebrae begin

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)

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

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
