Oh Odonata by The Brave Optimistic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m an edaphic critter
Fossorial limbs, vestigial eyes
My simple heart a’pitter
As reckless giants rush on by
I hear my ceiling crumble
My blurry vision senses sky
I need a deeper tunnel
So drab and dark and dull and dry

[Pre-Chorus]
The soil is the safest place to hide
Yet I just wanna fly

[Chorus]
Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya
I watch you flip and flitter
Eating all the bugs out on the lake
Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya
My muddled mind can’t picture
A single way your vicious heart could break
[Verse 2]
I burrowed down last winter
To nurse my new aortic wound
I finally found a missus
To gift me every golden bruise
I wake up mornings crying
She still haunts every earnest dream
I’m so afraid of flying
But I’d still love to sprout some wings

[Pre-Chorus]
The soil is the safest place to hide
Yet I just wanna fly

[Chorus]
Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya
I watch you flip and flitter
Eating all the bugs out on the lake
Oh Odonata, I wanna be ya
My muddled mind can’t picture
A single way your vicious heart could break
