How To Embrace A Swamp Creature

Got out of bed, could not remember my own name
Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame
Go where I go, do what I might
Crops starving on my belly, licking up the dry dust

I see the light in your window
Ride the elevator to the sixth floor
Stand with my arms at my sides as you open up the door

But I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe

Alone with your bathroom mirror
Breathe on the glass
Meet up with you in the kitchen
Open up all the faucets

I stand where the flashing swords glem
And I try

But I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe

I start to sweat, I can't cool down
I'm scared of all the strangers in this town
I'm trying to tell you
It's like I've got molasses on my tongue

I made it through town somehow
But who's gonna save me now?

But I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
I'm out of my element
I can't breathe
