Fishbowl Lyrics


I'm here today, just like every yesterday
Heavy heat and the 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 downI overcome this gravity
I look outside, a cat cries out
Trapped upon a window sill
But its crying's drowned out
By my screaming insideWhat 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 breakSirens 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 if said?Two windows stare back at me
Three stories high nothing is new
And I may sit but someday I'll stand
I'll muster up the will and fire myself throughWhat 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 breakWhat 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Stacey Earle is the sister of country music's Steve Earle (who often joins her in her music.) She arrived in Nashville in 1990 after her divorce--to help Steve with his children while he went on tour. After Steve heard her tinkering around at home with music one day, he asked her to help him record; later, she joined Steve on tour as back-up. From there, she started her own music career. Her music has been described as acoustic folk, her lyrics as emotional, and her melodies as pretty. She has been compared to Nanci Griffith and Iris DeMent.
