Christian Hendrickson - The Shark Lyrics

I'm a shark
Hark
Here to make a mark on this sphere, now
For many years now I've taken up the chase
Better quicken my pace
This sea is a rat race and I'm among last place
Ambitions crash like a wave
I succumb to its weight, look, now I'm enslaved
This current I crave
Creative juices flowing through my veins, uh
No I can't stop, can't wait
Lest I stagnate and fade
Sealin' fate, lifeblood abate
Cause now I'm in deep and it's such a thrill
Hooked on the flow going through my gills
Voracious, I have a palette audacious
And I haven't looked back for days since
If I could coast I would, but then again
A shark that ain't moving is dead

Too often I feel I'm in a bubble
For a migrant mind with a vision this spells trouble
A wannabe nomad trying to surmount
The endemic pandemic of 2000-now
It's something tragic
Lord work your pelagic magic
On me and please let me see the world
All too comfortable exploring in my own reef
Time to find some new spots to sink my teeth
And yes I still fear the dark, the deep brutal reality
That maybe it's not for me, that maybe I'm doomed to be
A regular catastrophe, yeah, I'm anchored in reality
Life's ebb and flow is scaring me
An undertow of verity
What chance in a cut-throat world
Does a nobody have to be heard?

My brain charts adventures
My body plays ill
I've got a fierce imagination but a timid will
