Tourniquet - Drowning In Air lyrics

An underwater realm, your home Amazing beauty and life abound With gills instead of lungs And scales instead of skin We dismiss you suffering For to us your form is so foreign As nets rape the ocean floor Catching anything in their path The unwanted and unlucky dead Tossed back as lifeless trash As they are dragged on deck Could it be they're drowning in air With no voice for us to hear And no way to show their fear Oceans filled with plastic debris Toxic dumping ground for humanity Up the chain of life they choke and die on our garbage. We pull them from their world with only us in mind When will we learn that we are not the only ones who live here? Is it too late to change our fate as we empty the waters? Drowning in air
