baleen feeder

I've been quieted
Bullying feeders slow
Now I'm swimming towards you
Through oil spills and fishing boats

When I peek my head out of the salty sea
The skies are violet
I'm a little scared of everything
Be patient

I'm usually okay being alone
Slow dancing in the deep
But I'm craving connection now
The ocean is too empty

When I peek my head out of the salty sea
The skies are violet
Please tell me if I'm graceful
Just be honest

I wish I didn't care what you think of me
I wish I didn't care what you think of me
I wish I didn't care what you think of me, me

If you find me swimming close to shore
I'm just looking for reassurance
That I am open-eyed and beautiful
I am not a burden

And I peek my head out of the salty sea
You're standing on the beach
Please tell me if I'm graceful
Just be honest

I wish I didn't care what you think of me
I wish I didn't care what you think of me
I wish I didn't care what you think of me
Care what you think of me
Care what you think of me, me
