 Sperm Whale by Sam Whedon

You’ve always got some place to go
Dark and murky; lithe but slow
Even the thickest skin won’t help to stop the pain
Not when you’ve got the biggest brain

You go down, down, down and the pressure’s rising
You go down, down, down it’s not surprising
You do, with all I’ve done to you
Where it’s cold and dark and quiet
But that’s the way you like it
You’ve got time to think and time to wait

And when you’re gone I will regret it
But in the meantime don’t forget it
It’s true, the things I’ve done to you

You go down, down, down into the darkness
But you can’t escape the stupid and the heartless
It’s true the things I’ve done to you
Where it’s cold and dark and quiet
But that’s the way you like it
You’ve got time to think and time to wait

And when you’re gone I will regret it
But in the meantime don’t forget it
It’s true, the things I’ve done to you

The only one of your kind to cut his teeth
On the salt of the earth beneath
