Drowning in Air (feat. Blake Suddath, Nick Villars & Tony Palacios) - Tourniquet, Tony Palacios, Nick Villars

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
