lyrics

this is a song coming straight from the fishbowl
it's a metaphor you see
it means i always feel like my head's underwater
and no matter where i look there's no one quite like me
murky water blurs my vision
the world is hazy like a dream
behind the glass no one can ever truly reach me
i see faces but i don't know what they mean

make me the main attraction
but don't let me run the show
this vessel i am trapped in
gets too quiet and too slow
you can put me in the spotlight
have me sing for a crowd
but at the end of the day
i'm on the inside looking out

i'm so tired of swimmimg in circles
can't change direction at all
with no corners to hide in
watch me bang my head
against the wall

i'm the main attraction
but i'll never run the show
the body i was born in
gets too quiet and too slow
you pushed me in the spotlight
made me sing for a crowd
but no matter what you do
i'm on the inside looking out
i'm on the inside looking out
i'm on the inside looking out
