Lyrics Fishbowl - AFI

Fishbowl

I’m here today, just like every yesterday
Heavy heat, and sheets stick to my skin
Can’t get away from nothingness
I try to get up
But I have to give in to the force that is keeping me down
I overcome gravity, I look outside
A cat cries out, trapped upon a window sill
But is crying’s drowned out by my screaming inside
What will it take?
I wonder what it’s like exposed outside, would I be safe?
When will it break?
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break
Sirens moan
They’re forever crying… someone's probably dying
The sound sticks inside my head
Talk to myself, I’m company, but who is to say if nothing is said?
Two windows stare back at me
Three stories high and nothing is new
I may sit, but someday I’ll stand
I’ll muster up the will and fire myself through
What will it take?
I wonder what it’s like exposed outside, would I be safe?
When will it break?
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break
