Growing tales

Waiting for the worst to come
It's keeping me from bopping
Waterbeds that hold me down
A sleeping bee, a sleeping bee
I'm hiding in the shadows

And I've been thinking I won't get out
If I don't believe in me,
Don't believe in this truth
Course set
Slow time in this sunset

Pacing back while unamused
At fools that keep me in a ruse
Salute a hidden grief
Trying to find a way back home
An octopus that told the sea
To grow a tale and live the dream
Will always blend within
And underneath the water

And I've been thinking I might get out
If I just believe in me,
Just believe in this truth
Oh look out for

So don't you think that I
Might make it out of here alive
The other time I thought I saw you come,
I was making things appear in slow-mo

But I'll stay here for
And I'll try

So long as I have my two best friends
So long as we're swimming free
No I can't, no I won't give opportunities
The chance on me
