Salt In My Tears

In the ocean it's hard to find a feed
the humans take more than they need
sometimes I go days without nutrition
what would you do if it was you in this position
I see a human swimming now it's time to get them back
I locate my target circle then attack
one bite and it's all over fast but humans are small, this feed won't last
they put down drum lines shoot us then we die
do you think that our loved ones don't cry
