The Whale Song Lyrics

I love the chunk in your chest

The lump in your throat

The stones in your coat

I love the chunk in your chest

The blade in your lungs

Metal taste on your tongue

I love the chunk in your chest

The knot in your night

That time won’t untie

How did you kidnap yourself

(that we did not know)

How did you kidnap yourself

(that we did not know)

I love the chunk in your chest

The lines in your head

That cling to your bed

I love the chunk in your chest

The blemish of blue

That hands can’t remove

I love the chunk in your chest

The brittle of night

That time won’t revive

How did you kidnap yourself

(that we did not know)

How did you kidnap yourself

(that we did not know)

I asked the whale to spit me out

She said darling I never closed my mouth

Look up look up and swim around

You’ve fallen in love with the echo the sound

Of the belly the beast the underground

There’s nothing wrong

You are all of yourself

Above below

So much to not know

Come leave stop go

I can’t look this in the eye

I’ve tried

I don’t wanna end this on a high

It’s not right

Sometimes your love feels like a long goodbye
