gotta get out of this goddamned fishbowl
it stultifies me
mummifies me
tears my fucking-limp-beating-heart-even-more
nothing to see-feel-do
nothing but dirtywatercrapfloating
breaking me down
stinking
sinking to the bottom
gotta get out of this goddamned fishbowl
before I go belly-up-to-the-bar
and take a drive
or is it dive
into the concrete-clear bottom of the tank
screaming my thanks
to the gods-of-fuck-you-and-that-horse-you-ride-too
misery-muse
dark-hearted one
gotta get out of this goddamned fishbowl
can't see outside
can't see the 'real'
sure-as-fuck-can't-see-the-light-it's-dark-in-here
or is the light gone-fishing-again
trolling for another victim
even as I tumble-down-into-obscurity-of-what-wasn't
gotta get out of this god damned fishbowl
