A whale's tale, a lonely soul
Gliding through an ocean whole
Carrying a song unheard
This gentle giant, misunderstood
Scars unseen beneath the blue
A heavy heart, to self untrue
Smiling ripples hide the ache
Of a spirit about to break
Smiling on the surface, crying underneath
Singing happy tunes but longing for relief
Everyone's swimming by, no one sees the pain
This joyful melody is a desperate refrain
I dive to the depths where no light can reach
I breach near the ships just to see if they'd care
I swim through the oil slicks 'cause the burn feels real
In this vast ocean, does anyone care?
In this vast ocean, does anyone care?
Drifting near the shoreline's edge
Too deep for shallows, too shy for ledge
A melody from another world
In waters where it doesn't belong
Currents shift, the waters change
Familiar paths now feel strange
Battling tides of expectation
Drowning in civilisation
I dive to the depths where no light can reach
I breach near the ships just to see if they'd care
I swim through the oil slicks 'cause the burn feels real
In this vast ocean, does anyone care?
In this vast ocean, does anyone care?
Weary fins no longer fight
Purpose lost in endless night
Drifting now without direction
Lost in clouded introspection
One last surge with fading might
Leaping high into the light
A fleeting dance 'tween sea and sky
A silent, shimmering goodbye
Weary fins no longer fight
Purpose lost in endless night
Drifting now without direction
Lost in clouded introspection
One last surge with fading might
Leaping high into the light
A fleeting dance 'tween sea and sky
A silent, shimmering goodbye
I dive to the depths where no light can reach
I breach near the ships just to see if they'd care
I swim through the oil slicks 'cause the burn feels real
In this vast ocean, does anyone care?
I sing to the void but my song goes unheard
I race with the currents till my fins feel the burn
I leap from the waves just to taste the air
In this endless blue, will someone know I'm there?
Goodbye
