I didn't ask for these feelings
I didn't follow you to your home
I wanna go down to the deep dark waters
I wish all you people would leave me alone
But you're still here so i have to
Drag my scaly body up on the land
You will know i have found you
When i reach out with one webbed clawed hand
Then i'll swim down into the deep
Like all the darkest secrets you keep
I will swim down into the deep
Like all the darkest secrets you keep
Took me to civilization
Do you feel human when you put me in chains?
I'm at the bottom of your fish bowl
But make no mistake i will rise again
Then the people here at this zoo
Will regret the very day they were born
Come at me with your long harpoons
But you're all gonna die
You have all been warned
Then i'll walk back into the sea
Someday i am gonna be free
I will walk back into the sea
Someday i am gonna be free
But not today not today
Set me on fire
Burn away my scales and gills
Do so much damage and make sure it never heals
Destroy my lungs so i can only breathe on land
I'm still not like you
And i hope i never am
So i'll still walk back into the sea
Someday i am gonna be free
I'll still walk back into the sea
Someday i am gonna be free
