the fishsong unplugged - Oklou

Lyrics by：April Harper Grey

Composed by：April Harper Grey

Ah pardon

C'est bon

Just outside the city

I was holding something's no one's ever seen before

Its eyes were kind of pretty

Its irises were blacked out and its scales were made of gold

Even through the flash flood

Spared it every harvest 'cause I wanted it to grow

The scientists came knocking

And something deep within me that refused to let it go

I know you are

Onto something onto something

I know you are

Onto something onto something

Gave it to the city

And hoped that maybe one day it'd pass its children all its luck

Something of a mascot

Till one day they had found its silver belly facing up

For a week they kept it quiet

And without a proper burial they kept it in a jar

It was stressed until it passed

The pump was overfilled with sand and then they spoiled a lucky charm

I know you are

Onto something onto something

I know you are

Onto something onto something

I know you are

Onto something new
