Birth Of A Fish… Lyrics - Singles - Eyedea

ha ha... ha ha... ha ha... it is kind of a funny story 

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 tap on the glass 

He looked my way, then gave me this depressed expression 

Impressed, it's best just to say 

Besides the tides and the grey skies, it was okay 

And I said Hey mister fish you get all that you wish 

You've got, nothin' to complain about while hangin' out in this bitch 

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

Besides get off the trip, happiness is just a myth. 

I said Livin' in water is extremely more peaceful than 

Life confined to a mind, blinded by the evil 

And forced to see through these two peep holes 

It seems I've redeemed freedom, not being limited by walls but 

That only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls 

That only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls 

That only means I qualify as ground for the sky when it falls 

That only means I qualify as 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, puttin' up a middle finger 

And he boldly told me it's too bad I'm 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 framed 

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 except 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 realized 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 mind is your own monster 

Reality's what you make it, if you take it away 

You're just a fish, like me, swimming in the powdered water
