Lyrics

Birth of a Fish

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He lives in a four by two glass box

It reminds me of my head

I wish my floor would have rocks, but it's covered with puddles instead

If I could be him, life would be great

I could erase this permanent frown

I wouldn't even be held down by my own weight

I woke up walked to the tank to hear his thoughts on yesterday

How was it? I asked

And after a tapping the glass

He looked my way, then gave me this depressed expression

Impressed, its best just to say

Besides the tides and the grey skies, it was ok!

And I said Hey mister fish, you did all that you wish

You got, nothing to complain about while hanging out in this (bis?)

Well he replied Well Existence is bliss, there's so much that you miss

Besides get off the trip, happiness is just a myth

I said Living in water is extremely more peaceful than

life finding minds, blinded by evil, and forced to see through

these two peep wholes.

It seems a redeemed freedom, not being limited by walls

That only mean to qualify ground for the sky when it falls

That only mean to qualify ground for the sky when it falls

That only mean to qualify ground for the sky when it falls

That only mean to qualify ground for the sky when it falls

But Mr. Fish just laughed as I went on and on and on

So I interrupted his chuckle, puting up a middle finger

And he boldly told me it's too bad I'm was such a thinker

So Arrogantly I asked How could someone think too much?

He added that insanity lingers and thoughts brought me to the brink of such

He said you live inside a head that reminds me of my glass box

And everyone's the same; all brains are contained by your reality frame

And chained, to with the rain, its trained hard not to change

And once you see what I've explained you hit the jackpot

And at that very moment it was like my eyes really opened

The air that previously surrounded me was now an ocean

Still totally invisible accept for minor pieces of debris

Then Mr. Fish pushed up to the glass and he looked just like me

My whole world spun around, I didn't understand

But I realised I was no longer a man

So I thought about what he said

And asked him what was going on

And he said, you didn't know it but you where the fish all along

He said, congratulations, you did it, you broke free

You're just a fish like the rest of humanity

Now it took me a long time to get adjusted to this tank

But now I know what I am, and so to that man I give thanks

I've always lived inside this glass box that reminds him of his head

It just goes to show ya that your minds your own monster

Realities what you make it, if you take it away

Your just a fish, like me, swimming in the powdered water
