Fish Tank - Captain Kidd

It's hard to say what I'm missing They told me it all before, but I don't really care to listen Write my thoughts down in the kitchen Spent so many nights alone that I don't even know the difference I'll be alright A little unwell since I came unwound Contemplate life To chase my dreams, or to just lie down? My thoughts swim in a fish tank Watch them floating in the lights I'll net them out to see what I think Nighttime coffee, morning whiskey Watch my clock tick through a mirror So time I waste will never hit me I'll be alright A little unwell since I came unwound Contemplate life To chase my dreams, or to just lie down? I'll be alright A little unwell since I came unwound Contemplate life To chase my dreams, or to just lie down?

This is a story about A museum of consciousness Release to you The sins I've made The danse macabre can now begin Stone wall floating through the sand Protective circles all around Break apart to build anew Golden prisms rage on through Holographic pyramids Were seen behind closed eyelids It feels like my brain Was floating in a fishtank I've never felt like that ever before
