amel larrieux - gills and tails lyrics
i looked at my reflection in the water
thought what an unlikely pair
closed my eyes, held my breath, plummeted down, down, down
and anch-r-d myself there
can’t tell how long i’ve been
in the company of gills and tails
i think i feel my skin
growing scales
chorus
can i come up for air
can i come up, can come up
(repeat 3x)
i’m gettin’ eaten up down here
i’m just not built like them
the big fish have a monopoly
the little fish get buried in the sand
this here world i’m in
sucks your life out, leaves you comatose
take back your salt and fins
send me a lifeboat
chorus
i look up with longing at the surface
hypnotized by the way the sunlight seems to ride each ripple
and they do a dance
every ray becomes a beckoning hand
i miss the sweet taste of oxygen
i mistook this for the promised land
chorus
