Fish Out of Water

I am a fish out of water and I cannot breathe through these corrupted lungs All the weight of the skies suffocates my chest, suffocates my chest I've learned how to swim, in the swamp you see, where the things you waste rot in I've got ten thousand fins and thicker bones to face the god of the lake All I have wanted is to be understood All I have wanted is to be understood In this place of oblong shadows where my scales look just like knives All I have wanted is to be understood I cannot resemble you; impractical creature hear my shrill call And you notice me as you notice thunder, opposite to tympanum All I have wanted is to be understood All I have wanted is to be understood In this place of oblong shadows where my scales look just like knives All I have wanted is to be understood
