Choice Mountain

Lyrics

[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
