Fishbowl - AFI

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
