PRE-CHORUS
Sedentary motion.
I'm a bottom feeder in this vast ocean.

VERSE 1
In a world of problem solving,
We must take action to survive.
With the steps I'm taking, I'm still living. 
But I don't feel like I'm alive.
I can see all my goals in the distance.
And at them I want to lunge.
But that's an impossible feat.
I've got no arms or feet.
You know I'm just a sponge.
I do not need much to get by.
I'm no different from your average humble gal or guy.
But I hunger for so much more
Than what I'm able to absorb.

I think to myself, a new life I could begin 
If I could just learn to shed this dead old skin.
This decayed heavy weight that's bringing me down
This lumpy sack of cells that's content upon the ground.
But I'm only a sea creature
Meant to stand in one place.
I could never shed this skin, try as hard as I may.
I wish I could rise above the depths of this cold watery snare.
Though I know that the surface is far out of my reach,
I wish I had the tools to get me there.

But I'm
