Lyrics
i wanna be the fish
i like the way he swims
i bend my arms to fins
ego scales my skin
i grab a sharp stick
and i cut my gills
the water rushes in
i'm too young
to live this life
i wanna be the fish
i like the way he swims
i grab a sharp stick
i'm too young to live
inside this life
they want me to stay
this life I cannot feign
