Take The Dive

Even if we go below zero
Will you ever see cold feet on me? No
Feel the sea breeze in the knee-deep snow
Crank up the heat because we're gonna need more
Haven't had a carb in a few weeks
And meat is the only thing that I really eat so
Didn't mean to but it would seem I'm on keto
Metabolic rate reaching a peak, whoa
I'm a fan of animals, they're sweet, so
I'll feed on a peeper if he's slow
Keep it moving, a human torpedo
Sick of flipper, I wanna pick up my speed, go
Least if I freeze I'm not gonna freeze slow
When you're in deep, if you gotta breathe, don't
Snatch up a tablet, see if I can decode
Gotta wonder what secrets these hold
Ancient alien bases with the green glow
I can hear someone beckon me and he knows
Who I am, what contaminant in the seafoam?
Now I feel like ET, why did I leave home?
Can anybody show me to the phone?
Looking for my team, anyone seen? Nope
Hope they didn't dig up another disease, so
PDA, activate emergency mode
Doesn't mean I need to be quarantined, though
At least I don't think so
How long can I keep up this rhyme scheme for?
Till I get a jacket or even a cheap coat
No wonder the planet's devoid of people
In need of resources, dangerously low
Feels like the ice age got a sequel
But it ain't the water chilling me to the bone

Why wait around? I've found that taking the dive
Gives you more of a rush than simply drifting with the tide
If your heart should slow, and your blood run cold
Take another look inside
You might be surprised to find somebody
Who's longing to take the dive
Take the dive
Take the dive

I don't wanna dwell on the past
But it's a fact that I was the captain of my swim team
Sprinted a 50 free split in twenty-three seconds
When I was seventeen
So when I'm up shit's creek, I don't even need an oar
To paddle through the battle and seize the war
Stick to the trenches, what I need 'em for?
I'll own this ocean like a sea emperor
Now I've all but forgot my earth days
As a kid I wanted to become a mermaid
But then I yearned to learn how to traverse space
Earned a degree then got myself versed in first aid
Was it worth the wait? I'd sure say
And hey, if I die, I'll be preserved, great
If a leviathan tries to get in your face
Better give him a titanic iceberg fate
Swimming in the wake of the precursors
On a mission that is takin' me further
Remember mother nature cannot be nurtured
A quick death awaits if you ain't a quick learner
So forget a fishing rod, I got my hands
Speak fluent marine like I'm Aquaman
If I don't keep my cool then the arctic can
Long as I'm stocked up on some oxygen
Feel like I'm walking on water
Probably because I often am
I'm a subnautical goddess, damn
If I find sentient life, can I talk to them?
Will they understand, or will they get aggressive?
With my terrestrial tech which is unimpressive
I'll say this again, but I've already said it
That this planet is gonna leave me breathless

Why wait around? I've found that taking the dive
Gives you more of a rush than simply drifting with the tide
If your heart should slow, and your blood run cold
Take another look inside
You might be surprised to find somebody
Who's longing to take the dive
Take the dive
Take the dive

Takes one to know one, and I'm a survivor
When it comes to my drive, simply staying alive
Is just the tip of the iceberg
So if you take a look under the surface
Your craving for adventure serves a purpose

Why wait around? I've found that taking the dive
Gives you more of a rush than simply drifting with the tide
If your heart should slow, and your blood run cold
Take another look inside
You might be surprised to find somebody
Who's longing to take the dive
Take the dive
Take the dive
