How to Embrace a Swamp Creature |
| Got out of bed, could not remember my own name |
| Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame |
| Go where I go, do what I must |
| Crawl, starving, on my belly, licking up the dry dust |
| I see the light in your window |
| Ride the elevator to the sixth floor |
| Stand with my arms at my sides |
| As you open up the door |
| But I’m out of my element |
| I can’t breathe |
| I’m out of my element |
| I can’t breathe |
| Alone with your bathroom mirror, try to get my head straight |
| Breathe on the glass and wait for it to clear, clean slate |
| Meet up with you in the kitchen where the air is hot and dry |
| Open up all the faucets, be fruitful and multiply |
| I stand where |
| The flashing swords gleam |
| And I try to shake my head |
| Clear of the dream |
| But I’m out of my element |
| I can’t breathe |
| I’m out of my element |
| I can’t breathe |
| I start to sweat, I can’t cool down |
| I’m scared of all the strangers in this town |
| I try to tell you just why I’ve come |
| It’s like I’ve got molasses on my tongue |
| I made it through town somehow |
| But who’s gonna save me now? |
| I’m out of my element |
| I can’t breathe |
| I’m out of my element |
| I can’t breathe |
