I’m a Fish (2014)

I’ve never stood on the ground
Although that doesn’t mean I’m not around
Says that blue one, “Don’t be drowned, just keep swimming”

When I go right, I go alright
Although anything could change; it might
Says that blue one, “Don’t go backwards, just keep swimming”

Lights transform into flowers
Snow flakes fall from the bottom
I can be upside down, flying over town
I’m a fish with a swish, and was, and will be

I’ve never felt a wind before
Also, that could mean I don’t know a shore
Says that blue one, “Don’t be scared, just keep swimming”

Lights transform into flowers
Snow flakes fall from the bottom
I can be free until I’m outta sea
I’m a fish with a swish, and was, and will be

All the fish are packed in this water tank
Being free, well, aren’t we?
Don’t think it will end until we ascend
