Gills & Tails - Amel Larrieux

I Looked At My Reflection In The Water

Thought What An Unlikely Pair

Closed My Eyes, Held My Breath, Plummeted Down, Down, Down

And Anchored 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

Can I Come Up For Air

Can I Come Up, Can I Come Up

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

I Look Up At 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
