Choice Mountain Lyrics

I'm trying to leave my ocean home
I'm trying to leave my ocean
Though I don't know nothin' of the swamp

And I could be a limbless star
Pushing at the sack all ready to delight the [?]
Mind, you don't look impressed
I could be the dolphin of your dreams

Willing wings to my chest
One day I'll grow up I'll show you
Harpoons and monsoons won't keep me at bay
There's so much here to happen

My limbs, now my fins, now I'm feeling my lips
And while you never call back
I'm older I'm colder, I'm not common good
A cherub in the ashtray

Wriggling back to the source
And thrashing at the waterfalls for warmth
Somewhere there's a place
And I can be the one that takes you home

But maybe I'm a lioness
And when I reach the shore I'll
Tear apart hyenas with no thought

Now organs in a glassy glow
And caught in the potential
Muscle mass and vertebrae with you

Trying to figure my place
And feverish with all my dreams away
And they don't notice me now
But I could be the whale that takes them all

(No...)

Try this and try this and try this again
I'm never gonna learn, [?] me will eat me
Let's try this again
I'm tired of the fish, always homeless and boneless and drifting [?]
Just [?]

Now inching up to the pond
Only to be lost among the [?]
Somewhere there is a place
And I could be a pterodactyl god

I'm trying to leave my ocean home
