Aquarium
[Intro]
Hmm, hmm, hmm
[Chorus]
I'm a fish in an aquarium
Cut off from the outside world
The water's always lukewarm
And I observe
Hardly anyone takes notice of me
But I am, here
Quietly floating
My lips, moving
Just like yours
Always in motion
You, never seem to rest
Through my reflection
I watch you
Why do you keep me here, like this
[Chorus]
I'm a fish in an aquarium
Cut off from the outside world
The water's always lukewarm
And I observe
No storms in these waters
So quiet, they're turning stale
Sometimes the tension
Keeps me hanging on each day
Each day
Will you starve me or feed me
I never really know
This love
My mountain
My detention
I'm dying slowly
I'm a fish in an aquarium
Cut off from the outside world
The water's always lukewarm
And I observe
I just want to fall
Fall
I'm a fish in an aquarium
And so I will remain
Where I slowly stir the water
And everyday's the same
The same
The same
The same
The same
The same
The same
