Lyrics
0:22I'm a fish in an aquarium
0:27Cut off
0:29From the outside world
0:33The water's always lukewarm
0:40And I observe
0:42Hardly anyone takes notice of me
0:46But I am here
0:52Quietly floating
0:55My lips moving
0:58Just like yours
1:03Always in motion
1:05You never seem to rest
1:14Through my reflection
1:16I watch you
1:19Why do you keep me here
1:21Like this
1:25I'm a fish in an aquarium
1:30Cut off
1:31From the outside world
1:35The water's always lukewarm
1:43And I observe
1:54No storms in these waters
1:58So quiet
2:00They're turning stale
2:05Sometimes the tension
2:08Keeps me hanging on each day
2:14Each day
2:15Will you starve me or feed me
2:20I never really know
2:27This love
2:28My mountain
2:30My detention
2:33I'm dying slowly
2:38I'm a fish in an aquarium
2:43Cut off from the outside world
2:49The water's always lukewarm
2:54And I observe
3:27I just want to fall
3:39Fall
3:51I'm a fish in an aquarium
3:56And so I will remain
4:02Where I slowly stir the water
4:10And everyday's the same
4:21The same
4:23The same
4:26The same
4:31The same
4:34The same
4:37The same
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 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
