here is the full words version of the song sung in the "e.mergen sea dot calm" show we created for the walking fish festival.
It was channeled through some epic shadowjamming we did in preparation.
I catch myself often humming the tune.

(sung like a lullaby)



it's okay
to die on the beach,
you'll be taken
away by the waves...

it's okay to die on the beach,
you'll be washed away by the waves...

~~~

I wish upon the waves
(casting casting)

we call those crests
white caps,
they look like horses
manes galloping
through the ocean ocean
ocean


(go from below)

~~~

oh,
high tide,
dive in.
high tide,
dive in dive in...

low tide exposes
the barnacles

ouch, my foot is cut

it's okay cause salt
water is the best
thing for a cut
did you know?
salt water is the best thing for a cut

(a ton of plankton I
eat everyday)

~

going under water,
I wish I had gills mmm

I'm a beached whale
people are poking sticks
at me,
beached whale rolling over
and rotting.

~~

(you know they haven't
mapped it all)

~~

the light isn't bright
under the ocean,
it's dark dark dark

you wouldn't be able
to see me,
I wouldn't be able
to see you.

phosphorescence
phosphorescence
essence
phosphorescence
incessant
incessant



there's so much sound
pollution, all
the animals go
deaf from your boats...

drilling drilling drilling
drilling incessant
incessant


it's okay

salt water
salt water

it's okay

salt water
salt water
salt water

it's okay to die by the ocean,
the tide will take
you away...

~~~

all these rocks are way
older than you.
wearing away,
worn away
at the edges first
