Deep Water Fish

I feel like I’m drowning, that’s how I talk about it

You can’t see anything I’m drownin’ in

And you say I’m a beacon, it’s just hard to believe it

When I feel like one of those angler fish

I’m afraid when I shine

It’s just a trick of the light

I’m no more than a spark

Sent to lure you

Into the dark

I’m not like Polaris, steadfast in her brightness

I guess I’m more like lightning one strike then I’m gone

I can light up the sky, I’m just not always so bright

And you can’t rely on me guiding you home

I’m afraid when I shine

It’s just a trick of the light

I’m no more than a spark

Sent to lure you

Into the dark

I know that it’s not true, I know I’m shining with you

But sometimes I still feel like a deepwater fish

The phosphorescence is our biggest

defense Against all this darkness down here

In the Mariana trench

I’m afraid when I shine

It’s just a trick of the light

I’m no more than a spark

Sent to lure you

Into the dark

But you tell me you know the dark

There are times when you lost your spark

And you don’t have to shine all of the time

It’s exhausting but you’re not alone

Sometimes lightning’s all you need to guide you home

Oh oh oh oh oh I will guide you home

Oh

oh oh oh oh guide you home
