Carcanphorous Sea

I've made oceans
From my fingertips
When I drown, it'll be a peaceful thing

Foam will rupture
Iridescently
My arms, my legs, and my skin

But as I lay dying
You came and took my hand
And you showed me the ways of the land

You cooked my bones apart
And saw my lonely pearl
Where a heart was supposed to be

You held it up
Like some prized trophy
Your hand came down but I yelled
A plea

Let's count to three and we'll leave this world behind
There's a rainbow bridge on the other side
Let's count to three and I'll take your metal hand
I just don't think I'm ready to leave my family

I make islands
From my fingertips
But they sink to the ground
Like buried treasure

And there's a colony
Of crystal cephalopods
Bivalve, squid, and towers of yarn

I could blow it up
A simple lightning strike
But sometimes I'm the god
Who never acts on his pride

Let's count to three and we'll leave this world behind
There's a rainbow bridge on the other side
And yet I can't take your metal hand
And yet I can't jump to your perfect land
I just don't think I'm ready to leave my family
No I don't think I'm ready
To leave my family

Tell me when you're ready to depart,
Tell me when you're ready to depart
